However, the effects of blood pressure (BP) and changes in BP on bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain poorly understood. This study is aimed to ...

We manually dissected 2 important kidney segments that maintain the sodium-water balance: proximal tubules and medullary thick ascending limbs from the human and rat kidneys. To delineate their ...

Then, the extent scores of all 16 individual coronary segments were summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 48. Similarly, for the segment involvement score, the total number of coronary ...

FFR-guided PCI is a class I recommendation by ESC guidelines for complex coronary scenarios 2 and focuses on treating only ischaemia-causing lesions, optimising revascularisation completeness. Its ...

The authors studied 237 coronary segments containing untreated plaques that caused mild stenosis (25% diameter narrowing) and were located at least 10mm away from a previously stented lesion. Based on ...

Objective: To explore whether radiomics analysis of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) captured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could discriminate unstable angina (UA) from stable ...

The AHA Dec. 17 released its Health Care Plan Accountability Update, covering the latest developments in Medicare Advantage, legislation and regulation of private health insurers, as well as other ...

platforms, resources and tools that underpin our efforts to democratize knowledge and data, influence policy and take action at-scale on issues and opportunities that matter most. The work of AHA ...

The surprising pull-back speed that can reach 25 mm/s in the LightLab system enables the acquisition of long coronary segments in a few seconds: for example, at a speed of 20 mm/s a segment length of ...

The diagram shows four phases of coronary blood flow in the left coronary artery during one complete cardiac cycle. During which of the following phase(s) shown in the diagram is the left ventricle ...

Most studies comparing coronary artery bypass graft patency are observational and opportunistic ... In these patients, although most of their vein is not suitable, it is possible to find segments that ...
