Intravascular imaging (IVI) is widely recognized to improve outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, IVI is underutilized and is not yet established as a performance measure ...

Coronary artery bypass surgery is a procedure to treat coronary heart disease. There are various types, including multiple bypass and minimally invasive. The medical name for coronary artery or ...

Over the last 60 years, the therapeutic approach to IHD has been dominated by the assumption that optimal myocardial perfusion can be restored by improving antegrade blood flow down the coronary ...

Revascularization is a procedure that restores blood flow by clearing the blockage from a severely diseased artery or creating a new route. This can be done with angioplasty (possibly including stent ...

Background: Angiography-derived microcirculatory resistance (AMR) is proposed as a novel, pressure- temperature-wire-free and less-invasive method to evaluate coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).

Explore the hidden dynamics of heart disease, its risks, and how new strategies and innovations help improve heart health ...
