Many lesions in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exhibit significant calcification. Several techniques have been developed to improve outcomes in this setting. However, their impact on coronary microcirculation remains unknown.

- * Interventional cardiology plays a vital role in managing HF, providing various percutaneous treatments for both acute and chronic conditions.
- * There is a lack of robust research on these interventions, highlighting the need for high-quality trials and international registries to better understand which patients benefit the most.
Article Synopsis
- FFR-guided PCI is recommended for treating intermediate coronary lesions, but recent studies have shown mixed results compared to other revascularization methods.
- A meta-analysis of 26 studies with nearly 79,000 patients found that FFR-guided PCI is associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction.
- Nonetheless, there were no significant differences in major adverse cardiac events or repeat revascularization rates between FFR-guided and non-physiology-guided approaches.
Aims: Heart failure (HF) is a proinflammatory disease often associated with the onset of iron deficiency (ID). ID alters mitochondrial function, reducing the generation of cellular energy in skeletal muscle and cardiomyocytes. This study aimed to analyse the response of patients with HF to intravenous iron administration according to the type of HF: preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Objectives: This study sought to develop and validate a prediction model of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and to identify LVNC cases without events during long-term follow-up.
Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal multicenter cohort study of consecutive patients fulfilling LVNC criteria by echocardiography or cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
