Risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is high, yet the effectiveness of guideline-recommended preoperative prophylaxis in clinical practice remains uncertain. We determined the utilization and…
The diagnosis of lesions with severe calcium or in-stent stenosis using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is still difficult. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy…
Diagnosis of coronary artery disease requires invasive procedures that are typically not implemented until clinical warning signs are apparent. The goal of this study was to determine the relation between the…
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have common predisposing factors that subsequently cause microvascular dysfunction. In the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, coronary flow reserve (CFR) represents…
The prevalence of troponin elevations in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) using newer generation troponin assays when the ninety-ninth percentile is used has not been well described. We studied patients…
The aim of the present study was to report the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention in young women with premature coronary artery disease. From February 2003…
Fibrinolysis has not been used for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Denmark since 2005. We aimed to assess the positive predictive value of clinically suspected STEMI…
The goal of this study was to characterize determinants of infarct size in the multicenter randomized Counterpulsation to Reduce Infarct Size Pre-PCI Acute Myocardial Infarction (CRISP-AMI) trial. Contemporary determinants of…
Although previous studies have shown that frequent ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) in patients with established heart disease are associated with increased risk of cardiac mortality, the significance of VPCs in…
This paper has errors in Figures 1 A, 1 B, and 1 C (the survival curves should have lined up with the y-axis, starting at 100%, rather than ∼90%). The corrected…
