Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusions: Indications and Outcomes

…The supplied material does not describe specific physical signs of CTO or a dedicated physical examination algorithm. Diagnostics Non invasive assessment of ischaemia and viability…

A new ECG biomarker for sudden cardiac death

…familiar to every electrophysiologist, is that LVEF is both insensitive and non specific for SCD. Most people who die suddenly never had an ejection fraction…

ECG manifestations of left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion and critical stenosis

…and management strategies. In the GRACE ECG substudy of 5000 patients with non ST elevation ACS (Yan et al), ST elevation in lead aVR was…

Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Revascularisation Strategy

…to patients with symptoms. Current guidance supports revascularisation for significant left main stenosis irrespective of symptomatic status or the documented ischaemic burden. In chronic coronary…
