Cardiac care of non-COVID-19 patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: the critical role of the CCTA
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) as the sole […]
The potential role of cardiac CT in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected cardiomyopathy: from traditional indications to new clinical applications
After 15 years from its advent in the clinical field, coronary computed tomography (CCTA) is now widely considered as the […]

Coronary artery bypass grafting or fractionated flow reserve-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in diabetic patients with multivessel disease
CONCLUSIONS: In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, CABG was associated with a lower rate of major adverse cardiovascular […]
Graft patency and progression of coronary artery disease after CABG assessed by angiography-derived fractional flow reserve
CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing CABG, preoperative vFFR derived from conventional angiograms without use of pressure wire was able to predict […]
Impact of non-invasive anatomical testing on optimal medical prescription in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
CONCLUSIONS: Epicardial atherosclerotic disease was found in half of patients with suspected CAD as assessed by coronary CTA. Compared to […]

Prevalence and prognosis of structural heart disease among athletes with negative T waves and normal transthoracic echocardiography
Clin Res Cardiol | 2023 Aug 15
Conclusions: In a cohort of athletes with negative T waves at ECG, cardiac MRI (and selected use of cardiac CT) enabled the identification of 16 (29.1%) subjects with SHD despite normal transthoracic echocardiography. Deep negative T waves and complex ventricular arrhythmias were the only clinical characteristic associated with SHD diagnosis.
Diagnostic accuracy of subendocardial vs. transmural myocardial perfusion defect for the detection of in-stent restenosis or progression of coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention
Clin Res Cardiol | 2023 Aug 15
Conclusions: This study shows that detection of a subendocardial perfusion defect as compared to a transmural defect is significantly more accurate to identify coronary territories with ISR or CAD progression.
Preoperative angiography-derived fractional flow reserve may predict coronary artery bypass grafting occlusion and disease progression
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine 24(9):p 651-658, September 2023.
Conclusion
Preoperative vFFR derived from invasive coronary angiography was able to predict graft occlusion and CAD progression of grafted coronary arteries.
