Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease, Silent Ischemia: A Cardiologist’s Headache

We need more evidence to guide us in the management of silent ischemia. Confirmed asymptomatic coronary artery disease is a problem for cardiologists, who lack enough evidence to guide a risk-benefit assessment that justifies revascularization. Revascularizing the outcome of a functional assessment may reduce the rates of death and infarction, or it may just be an appeasing placebo for both patient and primary care physician (without taking into account the risks inherent to the procedure).

Pulmonary Artery Denervation Starts to Show Results

Pulmonary artery denervation is associated with significant hemodynamics improvement, as well as improved clinical outcomes in patients with both post and precapillary pulmonary hypertension. Even though there are several studies on this technique, they included few patients (with different criteria and different devices), which is why we need more randomized studies.

Angiography-Derived FFR: Complicated Software or Imminent Reality?

Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) demonstrated substantial usefulness, especially in patients with three-vessel lesions. The functional SYNTAX score derived from angiography has the potential to redefine prognosis and treatment strategies compared with the classic anatomical SYNTAX score.

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Stroke Could Have Worse Results in Low Volume Centers

The number of centers that are starting endovascular stroke therapy (EST) to treat acute stroke is growing fast, with a significant increase of cases in low volume centers. Interventional neurologists are not able to cover the high demand and interventional cardiologists are always ready to learn something new. Is this right? Should interventional cardiologists treat acute stroke? This study, soon to be published, sheds some light on the matter.
