Article Synopsis
- The FUTURE trial investigated whether using fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide treatment in multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) is more effective than traditional approaches.
- The study was a randomized trial involving 927 patients, comparing outcomes of an FFR-guided strategy with a standard strategy without FFR, focusing on major adverse cardiac events over one year.
- Results showed no significant differences in major adverse events or mortality between the two groups, indicating that FFR guidance did not provide a clear benefit in managing multivessel CAD.
Background And Aim Of The Study: Although described in a number of necropsy studies, endocarditis on mitral annular calcification (MAC) has rarely been reported during life. The study aim was to assess the frequency and specific features of bacterial endocarditis complicating MAC.
Methods: Data relating to 62 cases of infective endocarditis of the native mitral valve diagnosed with multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) over a five-year period were collected prospectively.
Management of atrial tachyarrhythmias: benefits of pacemaker diagnostics.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
January 2003
The aim of this prospective multicenter study was to assess the clinical benefits of the Selection (Vitatron) pacemaker diagnostic functions (AF 1.0) in the management of AF. Forty patients (71 +/- 9 years of age), with documented AF and conventional pacing indications, received a Selection.
