Objective To compare the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on absolute coronary blood flow (Q) and microvascular resistance (R) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) treated with ...

Concurrent conditions such as cerebrovascular stenosis and coronary artery disease pose significant challenges for patients. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP)-based health education models offer ...

The presence or absence of angina was then correlated with the presence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Patients were categorised into groups of ...

The fibrosis‐4 index (FIB‐4) score, a noninvasive marker of subclinical liver fibrosis, has shown prognostic utility in general surgical populations. Current risk assessment models for patients with ...

Proteomic analyses of human tissues are often conducted on autopsy samples. However, no detailed comparative analysis between proteomic changes derived from autopsy samples and fresh-frozen samples ...

Objective Externally validated pretest probability models for risk stratification of subjects with chest pain and suspected stable coronary artery disease (CAD), determined through invasive coronary ...

Motion artifacts may occur in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) due to the heartbeat and impede the clinician’s diagnosis of coronary arterial diseases. Thus, motion artifact correction ...

Objectives In the care of coronary artery disease (CAD), evidence questions the adequate application of guidelines for cardiovascular procedures, particularly coronary angiographies (CA) and ...

BACKGROUNDImpulse response analysis of digital coronary angiographic images calculates a parameter known as the mean transit time of the microcirculation (Tmicro). This has been shown to accurately ...

Despite recovering a normal coronary flow after acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention does not guarantee a proper perfusion (irrigation) of the infarcted area. This damage in ...
