Coronary computerized tomography angiography for rapid discharge of low-risk patients with cocaine-associated chest pain.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Most patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with cocaine-associated chest pain are admitted for at least 12 hours and receive a "rule out acute coronary syndrome" protocol, often with noninvasive testing prior to discharge. ... Read more...

A first-in-man study of percutaneous myocardial cryotreatment in nonrevascularizable patients with refractory angina.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of myocardial cryotreatment for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe angina refractory to standard treatment. BACKGROUND: Innovative myocardial revascularization strategies are ... Read more...

Novel uses of the Proxis embolic protection catheter.

30 Aug 2009 The Proxis catheter has been designed for proximal embolic protection during saphenous vein graft interventions. The Proxis catheter's flexible and kink-resistant design, lubricity, and atraumatic tip allow deep seating in target vessels. We ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Angina Pectoris'

Definition: The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION.
