ORBITA-2: Objective Randomized Blinded Investigation With Optimal Medical Therapy of Angioplasty in Stable Angina

American College of Cardiology

The ORBITA-2 (Objective Randomized Blinded Investigation With Optimal Medical Therapy of Angioplasty in Stable Angina) trial data demonstrate that, in patients with stable angina and ischemia producing coronary stenoses.

Percutaneous revascularisation in chronic coronary syndromes: when real-world data unveil the other side of the coin

Heart BMJ

1 Indeed, if the recently published ORBITA-2 trial demonstrated the benefit of revascularisation in relieving angina symptoms, 2 many other trials aiming to show a benefit on hard outcomes have failed in their purpose. 3 The ISCHEMIA-EXTEND reported the extended follow-up of the recent ISCHEMIA trial.

First ED ECG is Wellens' (pain free). What do you think the prehospital ECG showed (with pain)?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

For those who depend on echocardiogram to confirm the ECG findings of ischemia, this should be sobering. In this case, the duration of ischemia was so brief that there was no such evolution, and there was near-normalization. Ischemia may be so brief that Wellens' waves do not evolve 3. The peak troponin I was 0.364 ng/ml.

Is OMI an ECG Diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Non-STEMI guidelines call for “urgent/immediate invasive strategy is indicated in patients with NSTE-ACS who have refractory angina or hemodynamic or electrical instability,” regardless of ECG findings.[1] 1] European guidelines add "regardless of biomarkers". But only 6.4%

25th Anniversary of a landmark study in coronary revascularization

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

One clue : We do prescribe this drug every day and it beats angioplasty. Aggressive lipid-lowering therapy compared with angioplasty in stable coronary artery disease. This conclusion is explicitly illustrated here, and the dramatically dissociated Kaplan and Myers would tell the whole story. Some of you may have got it right.

Precordial ST depression. What is the diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A middle aged male with no h/o CAD presented with one week of crescendo exertional angina, and had chest pain at the time of the first ECG: Here is the patient's previous ECG: Here is the patient's presenting ED ECG: There is isolated ST depression in precordial leads, deeper in V2 - V4 than in V5 or V6. There is no ST elevation.
