Abnormal regional left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: clinical significance of post-ischemic diastolic stunning.

18 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to characterize both regional left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function after percutaneous coronary intervention by using strain imaging (SI) derived from 2-dimensional speckle-tracking ... Read more...

Acute coronary syndromes: diagnosis and management, part I.

29 Sep 2009 The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to any group of clinical symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia and includes unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial ... Read more...

Drug-eluting stents: a study of international practice.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze trends in drug-eluting stents (DES) use in four international health care and regulatory settings. BACKGROUND: Accounts suggest a differential approach to DES internationally and recent reductions in use following ... Read more...
