Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Saphenous Vein Grafts
ABSTRACTBackgroundRevascularization decision‐making for saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) relies on angiographic lesion severity estimation, as studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detecting ischemia in SVGs are scarce.AimsTo compare FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of SVGs against myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and to establish ...

ABSTRACT Background RFR has shown good aggregate agreement with FFR, including in prior Asian cohorts using intracoronary nicorandil. Where RFR‐FFR disagreement is concentrated relative to the FFR 0.80 decision boundary, and how the two binary thresholds correspond, remain incompletely characterized. Methods In a prospective single‐center registry, 300

ABSTRACT Background Cangrelor reduces thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with the advantage of rapid onset and offset. However, premature discontinuation may increase the risk of acute thrombosis for patients undergoing complex/high‐risk PCI (CHIP).

Current computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) diagnosis leaves room for improvement in diagnosing coronary heart disease. In this study, the computed fluid dynamics boundary condition optimization method was used to calculate CT-FFR aiming to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CT-FFR for coronary heart disease.The two

ABSTRACT Background Real‐world data after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are limited. Aims We compared 1‐year clinical outcomes after PCI with paclitaxel DCBs between the ACS and non‐ACS patients.

Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Role of selenium in the pathophysiology of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have multiple bidirectional mechanisms, and anaemia is one of the critical factors that are associated with the progression of the two disorders [referred to as cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS)].
