Article Synopsis
- A study examined the outcomes of different diagnostic tests in over 27,000 patients suspected of having coronary syndromes, using data from South Korea between 2006 and 2014.
- The research found that single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was linked to higher risks of cardiac death and myocardial infarction, while treadmill tests showed lower risks when compared to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
- Ultimately, the study concluded that starting with CCTA did not lead to fewer instances of cardiac death or myocardial infarction than functional tests in these patients.

Background: Studies have shown that the concomitant use of a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and an antiplatelet (APL) drug increased the bleeding risk and was less effective at preventing ischemic events. This study aimed to investigate the control status of international normalized ratio (INR) and the discontinuation rate of a VKA in patients taking VKA plus an APL drug compared with those taking a VKA alone.
Methods: Data were extracted from the KORean Atrial Fibrillation Investigation II registry, a multicenter noninterventional prospective observational study.
Background The effects of severe acute stent malapposition ( ASM ) after drug-eluting stent implantation on long-term clinical outcomes are not clearly understood. We evaluated long-term clinical outcomes of severe ASM using optical coherence tomography. Methods and Results We pooled patient- and lesion-level data from 6 randomized studies.

Studies are needed to evaluate long-term (>5 years) clinical outcomes of LSM detected by optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) after drug-eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results We investigated long-term clinical outcomes of OCT -detected LSM in 351 patients who received drug-eluting stents and were examined by both poststent and follow-up OCT (175±60 days after drug-eluting stent implantation) from January 2009 to December 2011.

It has also been applied in the field of upper gastrointestinal surgery. Since the first implementation of the robotic system for the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma, the procedure has been found to be safe and feasible.

We also evaluated the characteristics of participants who respond adequately to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog therapy in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level reductions and weight loss.
