Non-Invasive Imaging Software Preferable to Invasive Coronary Angiography
Researchers were able to determine the clinical and cost effectiveness of using 2 types of noninvasive imaging software as alternatives to invasive coronary angiography.
Angiography
Early CT Coronary Angiography May Not Improve Outcomes in Suspected ACS
Researchers examined whether early CT coronary angiography could improve one-year clinical outcomes for patients at risk for acute coronary syndrome.
Outcomes With Early vs Nonearly Coronary Angiography for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Without STE
Patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest without STE had comparable 30-day mortality, neurologic status, and rates of percutaneous coronary intervention when treated with early vs nonearly coronary angiography.
High-Risk Plaque Criteria May Improve Prediction of Long-Term Outcomes in CAD
High-risk plaque criteria evaluated on computed tomography angiography were found to provide added value for the prediction of long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
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.
Coronary CTA May Consistently Improve Outcomes in Patients With Stable Chest Pain
Coronary computed tomography angiography may consistently improve coronary heart disease outcomes in individuals with chest pain.
Angiography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve Improves Coronary Lesion Assessment
Fractional flow reserve derived from routine coronary angiography may improve coronary lesion assessment.
Coronary CTA Superior to Standard Care in Stable Chest Pain
Coronary computed tomographic angiography was associated with a lower 5-year mortality rate in patients with stable chest pain.
Radial Access Reduced Adverse Events in Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome
Net adverse cardiac events occurred in 15.2% of patients with radial access and 17.2% with femoral access while undergoing invasive therapies for acute coronary syndrome.
Coronary CTA Associated With Lower Death Rate in CHD, Nonfatal MI
There was a lower death rate from coronary heart disease and non-fatal MI at 5 years in patients with stable chest pain.
