‘Power Carlino’: A Novel Approach for Chronic Total Occlusion Revascularization
Researchers at TCT 2021 presented a new method for crossing wire-impenetrable proximal caps during chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.
AHA/ACC Issue New Guidelines to Identify Noncardiac vs Cardiac Chest Pain
New clinical practice recommendations underscore the importance of identifying the source of chest pain, which may not always be related to a cardiovascular event.
Low Diagnostic Accuracy of ECG Criteria for ACS in ED Patients With Chest Pain
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.
Comparable Prediction of Revascularization in Stable Angina With CMR and FFR-CT
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.
Erenumab May Help Prevent Migraines in Patients With Heart Disease
Investigators assessed the effect of erenumab on total exercise time, time to exercise-induced angina, and ST depression in patients with stable angina.
Outcomes of Treatment Strategies in T2D, Stable CAD According to Angina Severity
Investigators demonstrated that angina severity at baseline should be a less important aspect of the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm.
Stress Echocardiography Safe for ED Triage of Chest Pain
A smaller proportion of patients undergoing stress echocardiography were hospitalized, with shorter lengths of stay than coronary computed tomography angiography.
