Heart failure of ischemic origin has become increasingly common over the last decade
because of the improved survival of patients with acute myocardial infarction …

Coronary microvascular disease (CMD), characterized by impaired coronary flow reserve
(CFR), is a common finding in patients with stable angina. Impaired CFR, in the absence of …

Background Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can
improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left …

Nearly half of all patients with angina have non-obstructive coronary artery disease

Context Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) is an adjunct to revascularization in
patients with cardiogenic shock and reduces infarct size when placed prior to reperfusion in …

Context Observational studies have previously reported that elective intra-aortic balloon
pump (IABP) insertion may improve outcomes following high-risk percutaneous coronary …

Background In patients with stable angina, two strategies are often used to guide
revascularization: one involves myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance …
