Health, burnout and well-being of UK cardiology trainees: insights from the British Junior Cardiologists' Association Survey.

Background: Cardiology training is demanding and associated with high workloads. Poor lifestyle and health among clinicians may stretch workforces and impact patient care. It has not been established what impact training in cardiology has on the doctors undertaking it.

Coronary Flow Variations Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Affect Diastolic Nonhyperemic Pressure Ratios More Than the Whole Cycle Ratios.

Background Post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve ≥0.90 is an accepted marker of procedural success, and a cutoff of ≥0.95 has recently been proposed for post-PCI instantaneous wave-free ratio.

Interictal Cognitive Deficits in Migraine Sufferers: A Meta-Analysis.

While a significant proportion of the population suffer from migraine, the existing research literature does not provide a clear indication as to whether migraineurs experience objective cognitive deficits outside of acute migraine attacks. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate which cognitive domains if any were affected by migraine, by synthesising the existing research quantitatively. The meta-analysis was prospectively registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (registration no.

Adenosine-Induced Coronary Steal Is Observed in Patients Presenting With ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background Adenosine is used to treat no-reflow in the infarct-related artery (IRA) during ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction intervention. However, the physiological effect of adenosine in the IRA is variable. Coronary steal-a reduction of blood flow to the distal coronary bed-can occur in response to adenosine and this is facilitated by collaterals.
