ABSTRACT Background Invasive coronary physiology including fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave‐free ratio (iFR), and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are guideline‐endorsed tools to guide the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Complex factors impact and confound these assessments, and discordance between modalities complicates ...

ABSTRACT Background Asymmetric underexpansion of transcatheter heart valves (THVs), as observed on fluoroscopy, may influence prosthesis function or long‐term durability of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aims This study aimed to evaluate the effect of stent frame asymmetry on hemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes in ACURATE neo

The Prognostic Value of Troponin in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Troponin elevation is increasingly used for risk stratification, but its prognostic utility remains variably reported across studies. To evaluate the prognostic value of troponin elevation in patients with acute PE, concerning short‐term mortality and ...
