A complex case of bacterial pericarditis caused by a new pathogenic agent.

is a gram-positive facultative anaerobic agent. It is a human skin colonizer that can be responsible for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. To date, the infections caused by this agent are related to bone, joint, eye, peritoneal dialysis catheters, abscesses or infected vascular grafts.

Age and functional relevance of coronary stenosis: a post hoc analysis of the ADVISE II trial.

Background: The influence of age-dependent changes on fractional flow reserve (FFR) or instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and the response to pharmacological hyperaemia has not been investigated.

Aims: We investigated the impact of age on these indices.

Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of the ADVISE II trial, including a total of 690 pressure recordings (in 591 patients).
