Identification of patients at low risk presenting to the emergency department with chest pain is a continuing challenge. We examined a cohort of low-risk women with negative cardiac injury markers,…
Ticagrelor loading dose (LD) increases adenosine plasma levels, which might interfere with fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessment because the latter is based on adenosine-induced hyperemia. In a prospective study, consecutive…
Percutaneous ventricular assist devices (PVADs) and intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) are used to provide mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Contemporary trends in their utilization and…
Early infarct-related artery (IRA) patency is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Using the French Registry of ST-elevation and non–ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI) 2010…
Early revascularization is the mainstay of treatment for cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction. However, data on the contemporary trends in management and outcomes of CS complicating non–ST-elevation myocardial…
