New data suggest that PCI guided by iFR co-registered on the angiogram can improve outcomes and reduce angina for patients more effectively than treatment guided by angiography alone The exciting ...
A new analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial reveals its results are highly contingent on how myocardial infarction is defined, with investigators reporting a significant treatment difference between the ...
Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply. The ...
Ischemic colitis reduces blood flow to the colon or large intestine. Mesenteric ischemia is a reduction in blood flow to the small intestine due to the narrowing of the arteries. Both conditions are ...
Approximately 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia have no revascularization options, leading to above-ankle amputation. Transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins is a ...
Ischemic colitis and mesenteric ischemia are both types of bowel ischemia. Ischemic colitis refers to reduced blood flow to the large intestine, while mesenteric ischemia happens due to reduced blood ...
Myocardial ischemia, the primary driver of heart attacks, remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Delays in diagnosis directly correlate with increased myocardial necrosis, higher ...
Stress testing results—no matter the modality used to obtain them—predict prognosis among patients with stable, moderate-to-severe CAD, new data from the ISCHEMIA trial suggest. The study, published ...
