POST-PCI Surveillance Strategies for Multivessel or Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Cardiology Update

The optimal surveillance strategy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for high-risk patients with multivessel or left main coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. The primary outcome was a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for unstable angina at 2 years.

Advanced detection of coronary artery disease via deep learning analysis of plasma cytokine data

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The 2017 World Health Organization Fact Sheet highlights that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 30% of all deaths. In this context, machine learning (ML) technology is crucial in identifying coronary artery disease, thereby saving lives.

Coronary artery disease and outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Open Heart

Coronary artery disease (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

Long-term outcomes of ischaemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA): a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background The prognosis of myocardial ischaemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) and its underlying vasomotor disorders, vasospastic angina (VSA) and microvascular angina (MVA), is not well defined.
