Coronary Artery Distensibility Assessed by 3.0 Tesla Coronary Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Subjects With and Without Coronary Artery Disease

Dec 16, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Coronary Artery Distensibility Assessed by 3.0 Tesla Coronary Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Subjects With and Without Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary vessel distensibility is reduced with atherosclerosis and normal aging, but direct measurements have historically required invasive measurements at cardiac catheterization. Therefore, we sought to assess coronary artery distensibility noninvasively…

Thirty-Year (1975 to 2005) Trends in the Incidence Rates, Clinical Features, Treatment Practices, and Short-Term Outcomes of Patients <55 Years of Age Hospitalized With an Initial Acute Myocardial Infarction

Dec 16, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Thirty-Year (1975 to 2005) Trends in the Incidence Rates, Clinical Features, Treatment Practices, and Short-Term Outcomes of Patients <55 Years of Age Hospitalized With an Initial Acute Myocardial Infarction

Sparse data are available describing recent trends in the magnitude, clinical features, treatment practices, and outcomes of comparatively young adults hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objectives of this…
