Left coronary artery thrombus characterized by a fully automatic three-dimensional gated reconstruction.

29 Jun 2009 Rotational coronary angiography and subsequent automatic modeling or reconstruction can result in clinically valuable three-dimensional (3D) representations of the coronaries. From these 3D representations information can be derived for specific ... Read more...

[Clopidogrel resistance]

30 May 2009 Platelets play a critical role in pathogenesis of atherothrombotic diseases such as acute coronary syndromes and ischemic stroke. Clopidogrel, a thienopyridine derivative is an effective antiplatelet drug mostly used in combination with aspirin or ... Read more...

Intracardiac thrombosis and anticoagulation therapy in cardiac amyloidosis.

2 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Primary amyloidosis has a poor prognosis as a result of frequent cardiac involvement. We recently reported a high prevalence of intracardiac thrombus in cardiac amyloid patients at autopsy. However, neither the prevalence nor the effect ... Read more...
