Background— Systematic use of coronary stents and optimized platelet aggregation
inhibition has greatly improved the short-term results of percutaneous coronary interventions. …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether a very early imaging strategy
improves the prediction of late systolic dysfunction and poor outcomes in ST-segment elevation …

Antiplatelet therapy (APT) has become an important tool in the treatment and prevention of
atherosclerotic events, particularly those associated with coronary artery disease. A large …

Background— The objective of the present study was to compare the midterm follow-up
results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG) …

Objectives : To study the causes of and to develop a risk score for failure of transradial approach
(TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background : TRA-PCI failure has …

Aims Clopidogrel is prescribed for the prevention of atherothrombotic events. While
investigations have identified genetic determinants of inter-individual variability in on-treatment …

Background Many patients delay or interrupt dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) after drug-eluting
stent (DES) implantation, which increases the risk of stent thrombosis and death. Objective …

Objectives : This study sought to determine the efficacy of low rate fluoroscopy at 7.5 frames/s
(FPS) versus conventional 15 FPS for reduction of operator and patient radiation dose …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the usefulness of fractional flow reserve (FFR)
measurements to guide the clinical decision in patients with intermediate left main coronary …

Antiplatelet response to clopidogrel shows wide variation, and poor response is correlated
with adverse clinical outcomes. CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function alleles play an important role in …
