Different temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices are available and can be
used to maintain end-organ perfusion while reducing cardiac work and myocardial oxygen …

ST-elevation myocardial infarction treatment in the modern era has focused on minimizing
time of ischemia by reducing door-to-balloon time to limit infarct size and improve survival …

BACKGROUND: The underlying mechanisms responsible for the clinical benefits following
coronary sinus narrowing and pressure elevation remain unclear. The present study aims to …

Background: The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) of the infarct-related artery and
left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) are acute, prognostic biomarkers in patients …

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important complication of percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI). We investigated whether left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) …

Objectives To ascertain whether invasive assessment of coronary physiology soon after
recanalisation of the culprit artery by primary percutaneous coronary intervention is …

Cardiac assistance represents an emerging issue in cardiovascular medicine. The evolution
of invasive cardiology techniques is making the catheterization laboratory one of the main …

Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is an important hemodynamic marker of left
ventricular performance and affects coronary perfusion. We evaluated the association of …

Introduction: Impaired relaxation is the earliest manifestation of ischemic cascade. Risk
factors and renal function abnormalities are associated with coronary disease and diastolic …

Background: The decision-making process to use percutaneous mechanical circulatory
support in the context of elective high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI) is …
