1-Though Systolic BP Seems More Important, Diastolic BP Should Not Be Disregarded Systolic hypertension is more often associated to cardiovascular events. However, diastolic blood pressure should not be disregarded, since it can also predict even worse outcomes.

Balancear el riesgo de sangrado vs trombótico para definir el tiempo de doble antiagregación

Can Antiplatelet Therapy Affect the Life of Coronary Grafts?

The antiplatelet treatment strategy providing optimal balance between thrombotic and bleeding risks in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery is unclear. What does seem somewhat certain is that some antiplatelet therapy is necessary to prevent early thrombosis, mainly in vein grafts, but (as opposed to what happens with angioplasty) there are other relevant factors such as<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/08/19/can-antiplatelet-therapy-affect-the-life-of-coronary-grafts/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Monto de isquemia basal en pacientes con múltiples vasos y evolución a largo plazo

Amount of Baseline Ischemia in Patients with Multivessel Disease and Long-Term Progress

According to this recent analysis of the MASS II trial, which will soon be published in JAMA, baseline ischemia is not associated with events at 10 years in patients with chronic stable angina. The ischemic burden induced through exercise does not predict events or long-term ventricular function. Such data add some suspense to the results<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/08/05/amount-of-baseline-ischemia-in-patients-with-multivessel-disease-and-long-term-progress/" title="Read more" >...</a>

SOLACI-SBHCI 2019 | SOLACI’s Regional Sessions Say “Here!” at the Annual Meeting

For over ten years, SOLACI’s Regional Sessions have set trends in Latin America, promoting medical education, advancing scientific development and research, fostering interventionism’s best practices and organizing scientific events of utmost importance for our specialty in different countries across Latin America and the Caribbean. This is why both SOLACI and SBHCI regard the presence of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/07/26/solaci-sbhci-2019-solacis-regional-sessions-say-here-at-the-annual-meeting/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Continuar con la actividad física luego de un IAM reduce la mortalidad

Supervised Exercise and Revascularization for Intermittent Claudication

The combination of optimal medical treatment plus angioplasty plus supervised exercise seems to be the first line of treatment for patients with intermittent claudication, in terms of maximum walking distance and best quality of life. This combination requires a multidisciplinary team for the best possible results. The aim of this study was to conduct a<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/07/23/supervised-exercise-and-revascularization-for-intermittent-claudication/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Mejorando los resultados luego de la revascularización de miembros inferiores

Improved Outcomes after Lower Limb Revascularization

Operator ability combined with improved and diverse devices for lower limb revascularization has clearly increased in the last decade. However, is this technical feasibility we did not use to have translating into better clinical outcomes for patients, or is it simply inflating our interventionist egos? This study aims at answering the question above by identifying<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/07/09/improved-outcomes-after-lower-limb-revascularization/" title="Read more" >...</a>
