Factors influencing the management of patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) are poorly described. We sought to analyze the clinical and angiographic variables influencing the decision-making process of patients with…
The rising use of imaging cardiac stress tests has led to potentially unnecessary testing. Interventions designed to reduce inappropriate stress testing have focused on the ambulatory setting. We developed a…
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with poor angiographic results and higher rates of complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Limited data are available regarding the impact of angiographically evident…
There are limited contemporary data available describing recent trends in the magnitude and characteristics of patients who are rehospitalized multiple times after hospital discharge for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI)….
The GRACE Risk Score is a well-validated tool for estimating short- and long-term risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). GRACE Risk Score 2.0 substitutes several variables that may be unavailable…
We sought to investigate the effect of smoking on infarct size (IS) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with large anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary…
