The electrocardiogram criteria for acute coronary syndrome were found to have very low diagnostic accuracy in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain.
Fractional flow reserve derived from coronary computed tomography angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance stress perfusion imaging may provide comparable diagnostic accuracy for predicting coronary revascularization in patients with stable chest pain and obstructive coronary artery disease.
Investigators assessed the effect of erenumab on total exercise time, time to exercise-induced angina, and ST depression in patients with stable angina.
Investigators demonstrated that angina severity at baseline should be a less important aspect of the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm.
A smaller proportion of patients undergoing stress echocardiography were hospitalized, with shorter lengths of stay than coronary computed tomography angiography.
Two analyses were conducted, one during the training phase and the second during the validation phase of the study.
Patients with stable chest pain who have high-risk plaque as identified by coronary computed tomographic angiography may have a higher risk for MACE.
Allopurinol does not improve exercise capacity or peripheral endothelial or coronary function in patients with cardiac syndrome X.
Noninvasive cardiac testing leads to longer length of stay for patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain.
No evidence shows efficacy of PCI procedures for patients with stable coronary artery disease with angina.
