The mid- to long-term results of several trials comparing PCI with CABG have recently been published. For three-vessel disease, CABG is superior to PCI, with lower rates of major adverse cardiac events. PCI may be equivalent to CABG for three-vessel disease in the lowest disease complexity ...
Invasive cardiologists are trained in performing a wide range of procedures that help diagnose and treat heart disease. One of the most common procedures they perform is cardiac catheterization. This involves inserting a catheter into the blood vessels to diagnose and assess blocked arteries, determine...

The percentage of blood that leaves the left ventricle during a contraction is called the ejection fraction. The echocardiogram is one way to measure ejection fraction. A normal heart’s ejection fraction is typically between 55 and 70%.
Most agree that CTO-PCI in appropriately selected symptomatic patients is associated with improved quality of life (QOL). Several observational cohort studies showed that CTO-PCI is associated with improved QOL, reduced angina, and improved exercise tolerance. In a meta-analysis, Joyal and colleagues...
13 THC specifically is responsible for the psychotropic effects of cannabis that many users associate with the “high” feeling after consumption. THC has been implicated as the potential culprit in many of the adverse cardiac effects and is therefore the focus of the current review. THC binds ...
transradial access in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI, 1-year outcomes from INFINITY-SWEDEHEART testing an “unlocking” coronary stent, and data from CONFIRM2 where clinicians used an AI-enabled quantitative CT angiographic assessment of atherosclerosis to predict risk of major adverse cardiac events...
rupture is considered a stable plaque. The vulnerable plaque is characterized by a thin fibrous cap, large lipid-rich core, and plaque inflammation. It is not necessarily the bigger plaque. Plaque rupture is an important mechanism underlying most cases of acute heart attack and sudden cardiac ...
It is only by protecting our workforce that we will be able to deliver a primary PCI and an ACS [acute coronary syndrome] service.If our workforce become unwell with COVID-19 then we will no longer be able to deliver these services and we will need to go back to medical management, or...
