Fractional flow reserve-guided multivessel angioplasty in myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2017
In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to restore blood flow in an infarct-related coronary artery improves outcomes. The use of PCI in non-infarct-related coronary arteries remains controversial.We randomly assigned 885 patients with STEMI and multivessel disease who had

Fractional flow reserve-guided complete vs. culprit-only revascularization in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients with multivessel disease: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundAmong patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease, whether fractional flow reserve (FFR) guided complete revascularization (CR) is superior to the now widely used culprit-only (COR) revascularization is ...

Impact of coronary revascularization on coronary flow capacity measured by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in patients with chronic coronary syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Coronary flow capacity (CFC) integrates quantitative assessment of hyperemic myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve. We aimed to evaluate the effect of elective percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI) on CFC using serial stress ...

Microstructural and Microvascular Phenotype of Sarcomere Mutation Carriers and Overt Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
BACKGROUND: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocyte disarray and microvascular disease (MVD) have been implicated in adverse events, and recent evidence suggests that these may occur early. As novel therapy provides promise for disease modification,
