Second-generation extracellular matrix patch for epicardial infarct repair
Current myocardial infarction treatments focus on improving hemodynamics rather than addressing the problem of lost myocardium impairing left ventricular function.

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.

Is there a role for oral triple therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes without atrial fibrillation? [PDF]
© 2018 Bentham Science PublishersBACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, despite treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), have up to 10% risk of recurrent major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in the short term.

Prevalence of anginal symptoms and myocardial ischemia and their effect on clinical outcomes in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease: data from the international observational CLARIFY registry [PDF]
Importance: In the era of widespread revascularization and effective antianginals, the prevalence and prognostic effect of anginal symptoms and myocardial ischemia among patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) are unknown.<p></p>

Transthoracic super-resolution ultrasound localisation microscopy of myocardial vasculature in patients [PDF]
Micro-vascular flow in the myocardium is of significant importance clinically but remains poorly understood. Up to 25% of patients with symptoms of coronary heart diseases have no obstructive coronary arteries and have suspected microvascular diseases. However, such microvasculature is difficult to image in vivo with existing modalities due to the lack

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (FAMOUS-NSTEMI): rationale and design of a randomized controlled clinical trial [PDF]
<p>Background: In patients with acute non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), coronary arteriography is usually recommended; but visual interpretation of the angiogram is subjective.

Safety of the deferral of coronary revascularization on the basis of instantaneous wave-free ratio and fractional flow reserve measurements in stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients deferred from coronary revascularization on the basis of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in stable angina pectoris ...
