Fractional flow reserve after previous myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2007
Marques and colleagues have conducted an interesting study on microvascular resistance of viable tissue within an infarcted area. 1 This study is important, not only from a conceptual point of view, but also because it has several relevant implications for the applicability of MIBI spect and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in patients with ...

Retracted: Microvascular resistance reserve in the presence of functionally significant epicardial stenosis and changes after revascularization

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
In the presence of functionally significant epicardial lesions, microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) calculation needs incorporation of collateral flow.

Clinical and Vessel Characteristics Associated With Hard Outcomes After PCI and Their Combined Prognostic Implications

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Cardiac death or myocardial infarction still occurs in patients undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to identify adverse clinical and vessel characteristics related to hard outcomes after PCI and to ...

Microvascular dysfunction in the immediate aftermath of chronic total coronary occlusion recanalization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objectives The aim of this study was to compare microvascular resistance under both baseline and hyperemic conditions immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) with an unobstructed reference vessel in ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging by single-photon emission tomography (MPI SPECT) versus Instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) for assessment of functional significance of intermediate coronary artery lesions

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2019
Background The aim of our work was to compare the myocardial perfusion imaging by single-photon emission tomography (MPI-SPECT) as a non-invasive, relatively non-expensive test versus the instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) for the evaluation of ...

Clinical Relevance of Ischemia with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries According to Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background In the absence of obstructive coronary stenoses, abnormality of noninvasive stress tests (NIT) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes may indicate myocardial ischemia of nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). The differential prognosis

Extensive unroofing of myocardial bridge: A case report and literature review

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background: Myocardial bridge is defined as a segment of a coronary artery that takes an intramyocardial course. The presence of myocardial bridge has been observed in as many as 40%–80% of cases on autopsy, angiographically from 0.5% to 16.0%, and often

A case of myocardial muscular bridging causing severe hypotension during exercise-electrocardiography test

open access: yesTürk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2016
Outlining the severity of the myocardial bridge (MB) is a critical step for selecting the appropriate option among medical, surgical, or angioplasty-based treatments.

Accuracy of intravascular ultrasound-derived virtual fractional flow reserve (FFR) and FFR derived from computed tomography for functional assessment of coronary artery disease

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023
Background Coronary computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) and intravascular ultrasound-derived fractional flow reserve (IVUS-FFR) are two functional assessment methods for coronary stenoses.

Stable coronary syndromes: pathophysiology, diagnostic advances and therapeutic need [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The diagnostic management of patients with angina pectoris typically centres on the detection of obstructive epicardial CAD, which aligns with evidence-based treatment options that include medical therapy and myocardial revascularisation.
