Physiological Assessment of Coronary Stenoses and Revascularization Decisions

…is a poor surrogate for the hemodynamic significance of a coronary lesion, with anatomic and functional assessment discordant in a substantial minority of intermediate lesions…

Fractional Flow Reserve and Non-Hyperaemic Pressure Ratios

…of functional severity. Angiographic interpretation is affected by interobserver variability, and the relationship between diameter stenosis and haemodynamic significance is weak, particularly for intermediate lesions…

Vasospastic (Prinzmetal) Angina: Provocation Testing and Treatment

…patients with intermediate lesions that do not produce physiologically significant flow limitation. The mechanisms are incompletely defined. Proposed contributors include hypercontractility or hypersensitivity of coronary…

🟠 SYNTAX Score

…ability is less robust in CABG treated patients, as surgery can bypass complex lesions irrespective of their angiographic complexity. Evolution: SYNTAX Score II To address…

Invasive Coronary Angiography: Indications and Vascular Access

…do not always correspond. Visual estimation of luminal narrowing may therefore be insufficient when deciding whether an intermediate lesion should be revascularized. Coronary pressure assessment…

Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction

…the combination of symptoms and/or signs of heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 41–49%. It occupies an intermediate position…

Alcohol withdrawal and delirium tremens: quick reference

…management of complicated withdrawal varies between regions and units. Follow the local protocol for choice of drug, dosing, route of administration and criteria for intermediate…

Corticosteroids: quick reference for dose equivalents and stress dosing

…apply to the anti inflammatory effect. They say nothing about the mineralocorticoid effect or about suppression of the HPA axis, where a long half life…

Exercise stress test on cycle ergometer

…Indications Evaluation of chest pain with an intermediate pre test probability of coronary artery disease. Assessment of exercise capacity and symptoms in known heart disease…

Inotropes and vasopressors: doses, indications, contraindications and effects

…intermediate dose Isoproterenol Dopamine, low dose Dobutamine Levosimendan Amrinone Milrinone Nitroglycerin Nitroprusside Figure 1. The approximate position of each drug according to its vasoconstrictor effect…
