Underuse of coronary revascularization procedures in patients considered appropriate candidates for revascularization. [PDF]
Background: Ratings by an expert panel of the appropriateness of treatments may offer better guidance for clinical practice than the variable decisions of individual clinicians, yet there have been no prospective studies of clinical outcomes. We compared

Imaging the dynamics of cardiac fiber orientation in vivo using 3D Ultrasound Backscatter Tensor Imaging [PDF]
The assessment of myocardial fiber disarray is of major interest for the study of the progression of myocardial disease. However, time-resolved imaging of the myocardial structure remains unavailable in clinical practice. In this study, we introduce 3D Backscatter Tensor Imaging (3D-BTI), an entirely novel ultrasound-based imaging technique that can ...

Medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention and prognosis in patients with chronic total occlusions [PDF]
Objective There is little published data reporting outcomes for those found to have a chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) that is electively treated medically versus those treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methodology for Jointly Assessing Myocardial Infarct Extent and Regional Contraction in 3-D CMRI [PDF]
Automated extraction of quantitative parameters from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (CMRI) is crucial for the management of patients with myocardial infarct. This work proposes a post-processing procedure to jointly analyze Cine and Delayed-Enhanced (DE) acquisitions in order to provide an automatic quantification of myocardial contraction and ...

Silent Myocardial Ischemia in Patients after Permanent Coronary Intervention
Frequency and timing of appearance of myocardial ischemia, including silent ischemia, were analyzed in published scientific sources. Silent myocardial ischemia is risk factor for stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.

The haemodynamic effects of collateral donation to a chronic total occlusion : implications for patient management [PDF]
Physiological lesion assessment in the form of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is now well established for the purpose of guiding multi-vessel revascularization.

Increased hazard of myocardial infarction with insulin‐provision therapy in actively smoking patients with diabetes mellitus and stable ischemic heart disease: The BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) trial [PDF]
Background In the BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) trial, randomization of diabetic patients with stable ischemic heart disease to insulin provision ( IP
