Fractional Flow Reserve–Guided Multivessel Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction
New 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

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2017 BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Bridging the Gap in a Rare Cause of Angina
European Cardiology Review, 2021 Myocardial bridging occurs when coronary arteries run intramurally. Episodes of tachycardia can cause a dynamic obstruction that extends into diastole, compromising coronary filling time, and subsequently leading to ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia, acute

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Myocardial infarction and premature death have been observed in patients with psoriasis. Although inflammation‐driven accelerated atherosclerosis has been proposed as a mechanism, the relationship between subclinical noncalcified coronary ...

FAME 2 – The best initial strategy for patients with stable coronary artery disease: Do we have an answer at last? [PDF]
Global Cardiology Science & Practice, 2012 Results of the Fractional flow reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2 (FAME 2) trial were recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Munich and published concurrently in the New England Journal of Medicine1.

Biomimetics, 2022 The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is 30–68%. Nevertheless, there is still not enough evidence to use invasive assessment of lesion severity, because the hemodynamic milieu of AS may impact the ...

Effect of Varying Hemodynamic and Vascular Conditions on Fractional Flow Reserve: An In Vitro Study
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of varying hemodynamic conditions on fractional flow reserve (ratio of pressure distal [Pd] and proximal [Pa] to stenosis under hyperemia) in an in vitro setting.
