The optimal management of concomitant chronic obstructive coronaryarterydisease (CAD) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients remains a debated topic. While some advocate for pre-TAVR percutaneous coronary intervention, others adopt an expectant approach. Original article: Persits I et al.
Ischemia and no obstructive coronaryarterydisease (INOCA) is increasingly recognized and associated with poor outcomes. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative measure of insulin resis.
Coronaryarterydisease (CAD) is frequently found in this patient group and optimal management in these patients remains uncertain. Subsidiary outcomes included patient angina and breathlessness scores. After multivariate analysis, the presence of CAD had no effect on the primary outcome (HR 0.98, CI 0.68

HBOT is a promising treatment modality for coronaryarterydisease (CAD), where outcomes are frequently poor despite early revascularisation. The primary outcomes were left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
Objective In patients with complex coronaryarterydisease (CAD) undergoing cardiac surgery, myocardial protection might be impaired due to microvascular obstruction, resulting in myocardial injury and subsequent biomarker release.
Association of clonal haematopoiesis with heart failure incidence and outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Abstract Aims Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) is recognized as a significant risk factor for various non-haematologic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. Clonal haematopoiesis and heart failure: a meta-analysis.
Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronaryarterydisease than conventional angiography, the more commonly used technique.
IntroductionDepression is a significant comorbidity linked to poor subjective and objective health outcomes in cardiac patients. The paucity of data necessitates further research to elucidate the pathophysiological connection between depression and cardiac diseases in the presence of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
Colchicine, a cheap and widely used anti-inflammatory has shown promise in improving cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to study the effects of colchicine in patients with symptomatic coronaryarterydisease (CAD) who have undergone PCI.
Evaluating the ACO incentives , researchers compared care quality data from the ACCs NCDR PINNACLE Registry before and 6-12 months after MSSP participation at 83 ACO outpatient cardiology practices versus 332 non-ACO practices and found MSSP ACO participation made no difference in coronaryarterydisease, HF, AFib, or hypertension outcomes.
In 2024, the FDA approved Flyrcado for patients with known or suspected coronaryarterydisease (CAD), delivering higher diagnostic efficacy compared to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) i myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), the predominant procedure used in nuclear cardiology today. 2023 Oct, 82 (16) 15981610.
Deficits in health literacy are common in patients with coronaryarterydisease (CAD), and this is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Five studies targeted interaction between patients and the health system; four of these reported improved outcomes, including through use of teach-back.
BACKGROUND:Shared genetic and lifestyle risk factors may underlie the development of both coronaryarterydisease (CAD) and dementia. Primary outcomes were incident all-cause, Alzheimers, and vascular dementia diagnoses obtained from electronic health records. Circulation, Ahead of Print. year follow-up.
Coronary physiology assessment, including epicardial and microvascular investigations, is a fundamental tool in the contemporary management of patients with coronaryarterydisease. Coronary revascularisation guided by functional evaluation has demonstrated superiority over angiography-only-guided treatment.
Performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) significantly improved outcomes in patients with stable coronaryarterydisease (CAD) and severe aortic stenosis selected for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
(MedPage Today) -- ATLANTA -- Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronaryarterydisease did not result in better outcomes compared.
A rare variant association study using exome sequencing data was performed on a machine learning-based marker for coronaryarterydisease (CAD). Our findings help us understand how these 17 genes are involved in coronaryarterydisease. Credit: Ron Do, PhD, and Ben Omega Petrazzini, BS, at Icahn Mount Sinai.
ObjectivesRevascularization in patients with severely reduced left ventricular function and coronaryarterydisease (CAD) is associated with a high perioperative risk.
BackgroundCoronary arterydisease is a global health concern that necessitates treatments, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). Recent advancements in biodegradable polymer-coated DES have improved long-term outcomes by reducing neointimal hyperplasia.
In patients with unprotected left main coronaryarterydisease (ULMCAD), this study compared the long-term prognosis of drug-eluting stent insertion guided by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) vs. angiography.
Since limb events are major drivers of morbidity in diabetic patients with peripheral (PAD) and coronaryarterydisease (CAD), does the addition of ticagrelor to background therapy of aspirin improve limb events?

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a well-established treatment for coronaryarterydisease, one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Its effects on the heart are particularly alarming, as smoking significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and complicates medical procedures such as minimally invasive or bloodless heart surgeries. Poor healing can compromise the outcomes of bloodless surgeries, which rely on minimal incisions and precise techniques.
Introduction Despite advancements in coronaryarterydisease (CAD) management, major adverse cardiovascular events persist. Primary outcomes included myocardial infarction, stroke, major bleeding events, and all-cause mortality. Vitamin K antagonists and direct oral anticoagulants present bleeding risks.
With more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, the HeartFlow FFR CT Analysis remains unparalleled in precision coronary care, as supported by the ACC/AHA Chest Pain Guidelines, to improve treatment plans and outcomes. 3 HeartFlow’s FFR CT Analysis is covered by Medicare and for >99% of commercially insured lives.
