The presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with stable coronary artery disease is associated with an increased long-term risk of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke. However, the effect…
To assess the performance of currently used stress tests for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a series of female hypertensive patients. We performed exercise electrocardiography (ECG), technetium-99m…
Despite the growing use of computed tomographic angiography (CTA), the effect on patient management is less clear. We sought to determine the perceived usefulness of the results provided by CTA…
The ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) can be achieved using anatomically guided approaches using differentiated mapping and ablation techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of…
Apoptosis is recognized as a mechanism of cell loss in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Whether it contributes to myocyte elimination late after AMI has not yet been…
In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with fibrinolytics, electrocardiogram-derived measures of ST-segment recovery guide therapy decisions and predict infarct size. The comprehension of these relationships in patients undergoing…
Controversy exists regarding whether all patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) benefit from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). We examined the association between ACEI treatment and mortality in a large, unselected…
Vascular and bleeding complications are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, limited data are available on the relation between these complications and the platelet count in patients undergoing coronary angiography….
The optimal timing of coronary angiography in patients with non–ST elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is debated. American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology guidelines recommend an early…
The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial. In addition, the relation of AF to myocardial ischemia and outcomes in patients with known or suspected…
