(2). Despite its prognostic utility, angiography is an insensitive tool for detecting CAV, due to inability to visualize beyond the arterial lumen and larger epicardial vessels. These are significant limitations, as the diffuse, concentric, and longitudinal nature of CAV disease, as well as ...
Clinically, the physiologic significance of a narrowing observed at coronary angiography can best be evaluated by obtaining additional evidence of myocardial ischemia, i.e. stress testing with ECG monitoring, resting and exercise isotope perfusion studies or ventriculographic studies. However, when ...

All subjects underwent coronary angiography and, if suitable, a percutaneous coronary intervention, within 24 h from admission. Individuals with fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c not diagnostic for diabetes underwent a fully standardized 75 g OGTT (Glucosio Sclavo Diagnostic®, Sclavo Diagnostic ...
American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation/AHA guidelines recommend considering invasive coronary angiography for SIHD in certain clinical circumstances (e.g., history of sudden cardiac death, life-threatening arrhythmias, or heart failure) 37, 67. However, the lack of studies in very elderly ...
The study has the common limitations of retrospective data analyses, the most prominent limitation being the lack of angiography follow-ups to check on graft patency in the vast majority of patients. Also, the cause of death in our patients during follow-up could not be determined in the major...
The indication for PCI included coronary angiography showing a lesion with a coronary stenosis of more than 70% (left main stem greater than 50%) and patients with evidence of ischemia or fractional flow reserve ≤ 0.8; the stent type was left to the treating physician's discretion. If not ...
