The success of a primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) in the setting of ST elevation
myocardial infarction depends on the functional and structural integrity of coronary …

Angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) is increasingly recognized and may
affect nearly one-half of patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography for suspected …

Heart Failure Society (JHFS). The working committee for this project includes members and
collaborators involved in the previous versions of the heart failure guidelines and members …

Background—Most methods for assessing microvascular function are not readily available
in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The aim of this study is to determine whether the …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic
implications of angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) in …

Traditionally, invasive coronary physiological assessment has focused on the epicardial
coronary artery. More recently, appreciation of the importance of the coronary …

Far more extensive than the epicardial coronary vasculature that can be visualized
angiographically is the coronary microcirculation, which foregoes routine imaging. Probably …

A substantial proportion of patients with acute myocardial infarction develop clinical heart
failure, which remains a common and major healthcare burden. It has been shown that in …

Over the last 15 years, the use of invasive coronary physiology in the catheterization
laboratory has demonstrated favorable outcomes for decision making in patients with …

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is frequently successful at
restoring coronary artery blood flow in patients with acute ST-segment–elevation myocardial …
