The study utilized the ISCHEMIA primary outcome, a composite measure of cardiovascular death, protocol-defined myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, or resuscitated cardiac arrest. years, with 57.1% occurring within 30 days after CABG.

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

The patient was given aspirin, heparin, morphine, and ondansetron and and transferred to a PCI-capable facility for a diagnosis of "unstable angina" with dynamic ECG changes. The receiving emergency physician consulted with interventional cardiology who stated there was no STEMI.

The primary endpoint consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina. However, CSR did significantly reduce the number of daily angina episodes compared to placebo. of patients in the PCI group compared to 3.4% in the medical therapy group.

Recently published in EuroIntervention, additional analysis from the ISCHEMIA trial evaluated three main aspects: first, the association between participant sex and the likelihood of undergoing revascularization among those randomized to the INV arm; second, the risk of the ISCHEMIA primary composite outcome (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (..)

New data presented at EuroPCR from the much debated ORBITA trial may provide some modest temporary lessening of the pain felt by interventional cardiologists in response to the initial negative ORBITA findings. But the pain relief is likely to be only temporary, and might even be fairly compared to a placebo effect, since the major.

Takotsubo is a sudden event, not one with crescendo angina. In a prospective angiographic study involving patients undergoing percutaneous intervention for coronary artery disease, only half the subsequent events arose from lesions with sufficient stenosis to have warranted intervention at the time of revascularization.
