Mashup Score: 0Systematic coronary physiology improves level of agreement in diagnostic coronary angiography - 2 year(s) ago
Objective The training of interventional cardiologists (ICs), non-interventional cardiologists (NICs) and cardiac surgeons (CSs) differs, and this may be reflected in their interpretation of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and management plan. Availability of systematic coronary physiology might result in more homogeneous interpretation and management strategy compared with ICA…

Mashup Score: 0Randomised trial of stable chest pain investigation: 3-year clinical and quality of life results from CE-MARC 2 - 2 year(s) ago
Aims Guidelines for suspected cardiac chest pain have used historical risk stratification tools, advocating invasive coronary angiography (ICA) first-line in those at highest risk. We aimed to determine whether different strategies to manage suspected stable angina affected medium-term cardiovascular event rates and patient-reported quality of life (QoL) measures. Methods CE-MARC 2, a three-arm…
