OBJECTIVES - Using the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) database, temporal trends, predictors, and outcomes of radial access (RA) versus femoral access (FA) for unprotected left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention (LMS-PCI) were studied. BACKGROUND - Data on arterial access site for LMS-PCI are poorly defined. ...

BACKGROUND - Fractional flow reserve (FFR) computation from coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) datasets (FFRCT) has emerged as a promising noninvasive test to assess hemodynamic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), but has not yet been compared with traditional functional imaging. OBJECTIVES - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of FFRCT and c...

Single-Molecule hsTnI and Short-Term Risk in Stable Patients With Chest Pain
Original Research | By Januzzi JL Jr, S Suchindran, and on behalf of the PROMISE Investigators.
BACKGROUND - Evaluation of stable symptomatic outpatients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) may be challenging because they have a wide range of cardiovascular risk. The role of troponin testing to assist clinical decision making in this setting is unexplored. OBJECTIVES - This study sought to evaluate the prognostic meaning of single-molecule counting high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) ...
