Article Synopsis
- The study examines how adherence to adjunctive use criteria (AUC) for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) impacts clinical outcomes in low IVUS volume countries, specifically in Thailand, where over 21,000 patients were analyzed.
- It found that 75.8% of patients met the AUC, with a higher rate of IVUS-guided PCI performed in that group compared to those who did not meet the criteria.
- Despite an increase in complications associated with IVUS-guided PCI, the overall procedural success rates improved regardless of AUC adherence, suggesting that IVUS could be beneficial even in cases that do not strictly meet the criteria.
Objective: To assess the effect of manual thrombectomy (MT) on microvascular obstruction (MVO) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods And Results: Three hundred and eighty-three patients admitted for STEMI and undergoing CMR fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were categorized into two groups (did or did not undergo MT). The two primary endpoints were the occurrence and extent of MVO, analyzed as a categorical variable and as a semicontinuous variable.
Background: There are limited data on the prevalence of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, and their value for predicting a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in patients at high cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ECG abnormalities in patients at high risk for cardiovascular events, and to identify ECG abnormalities that significantly predict MACE.
Methods: Patients aged ≥ 45 years with established atherosclerotic disease (EAD) were consecutively enrolled from the outpatient clinics of the six participating hospitals during April 2011 to March 2014.
Background: There are many ECG criteria for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). There are, however limited data on the accuracy of these criteria in comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Objective: To determine the accuracy of ECG criteria for the diagnosis of LVH using CMR as the gold standard and to assess gender-specific data.
Background And Objective: Arterial stiffening is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events. Studies using a variety of different techniques have shown that visceral fat accumulation may be related to aortic stiffening. However, there are limited data available about the study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
