Stenting Location May Not Affect LAD Angioplasty Clinical Outcomes
Patients with proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis were found to have comparable clinical outcomes when treated with percutaneous coronary intervention in the proximal LAD segment or with nonproximal angioplasty.
Increased Aging Associated With Greater Risk for Microvascular Dysfunction
The increase in minimal microvascular resistance that occurs with age may result in progressive impaired capacity of coronary vasodilation in the pan myocardial region, and may affect ischemic heart disease pathophysiology.
