It is well established that myocardial infarction (MI) associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) predicts a poor outcome. Nevertheless, cardioprotective therapies to limit myocardial injury after CABG are lacking….
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the use of bleeding-avoidance strategies (BAS) and risk-adjusted bleeding over time in patients ≥80 years of age undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention…
Uninterrupted oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy can be the preferred strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation at moderate to high risk of thromboembolism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To evaluate the…
We sought to compare the diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) measurement using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) and 320-row multidetector computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) for…
In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, the available evidence from clinical trial data are inconclusive. We evaluated the safety and efficacy…
“In our instruction, we have tried to emphasize that a manuscript can be grammatically and semantically perfect and still be worthless if it is not scientifically valid. So we stress,…
The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) has provided education and guidance for decades on the management of hypercholesterolemia. Its third report (ATP III) was published 10 years…
Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction is associated with various neuromuscular and other rare genetic disorders. In a 53-year-old man with a Turner mosaic karyotype, regression of left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction was documented by…
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) indicates a high risk of heart failure and death, but LV remodeling remains difficult to predict. Biomarkers may help to refine risk…
The 2012 meeting of the editorial board of The American Journal of Cardiology ( AJC ) was held on March 25, 2012, in Chicago, Illinois, at the time of the…
