Intravascular imaging (IVI), such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), play a crucial role in assessing lesion characteristics and optimizing stent placement during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were divided into two groups based on IVI usage. vs 6.7%; HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.61-0.97;

Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Presence of Left Bundle Branch Block using the ST Elevation to S-Wave Ratio in a Modified Sgarbossa Rule. Why is there this notion that myocardial infarction cannot be diagnosed in the setting of ventricular paced rhythm?
