Introduction. Myocardial revascularization using traditional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is indicated to the patients with multivessel coronary artery (CA) damage. However, complete revascularization

Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) improves diagnostic certainty in the assessment of patients with stable chest pain, its effect on 5-year clinical outcomes is unknown.

The association of preoperative cardiac stress testing with 30-day death and myocardial infarction among patients undergoing kidney transplantation [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Although periodic cardiac stress testing is commonly used to screen patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation for ischemic heart disease, there is little evidence to support this practice.

Hybrid myocardial revascularization
In patients with advanced coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with improved long-term outcomes while percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower periprocedural complications. A new approach has emerged in the last decade that attempts to reap the benefits of bypass surgery and ...

Outcome of very elderly (octogenarians) patients with coronary artery disease, all diagnosed by coronary angiography [PDF]
Background: Women with ischemic heart disease (IHD) typically present less severe coronary artery atherosclerosis. Despite that, as compared with men, women maintain a worse outcome.

Meta-analysis of death and myocardial infarction in the DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART trials: a hypothesis generating note of caution [PDF]
In patients with coronary heart disease, revascularization can improve symptoms and in certain high-risk subgroups may improve prognosis. Coronary angiography provides anatomical information and the physiological significance of a stenosis can be ...

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...
