AFIRE Study | Hidden Risks After Bleeding in Coronary Disease and Atrial Fibrillation
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary disease who suffer from major bleeding present an extremely high risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. Preventing bleeding is necessary, and so is preventing the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events and death. The association between coronary angioplasty, early bleeding, and an increase in death and infarction rates after…

A Headache for Cardiologists: Ischemia with Non-Obstructive Disease
Treating patients with functional stress test induced ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is complex and often frustrating. The multifactorial nature of this disease in addition to the complex physiopathological relationship between angina and ischemia turn these patients into a real headache for cardiologists. The CIAO-ISCHEMIA was recently published in Circulation and was designed…

CT and Angiography Agreement in Patients from the ISCHEMIA Trial
Computed tomographic (CT) angiography showed a high degree of agreement with conventional angiography to detect significant coronary artery disease and rule out left main disease. This imaging study was done on a group of patients before their randomization in the ISCHEMIA trial. Data are soon to be published in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging and add plenty…
Revascularization Is Needed Before TAVR
Disease prevalence in patients with severe aortic stenosis is highly variable: from 80% in inoperable patients to only 15% according to the most recent research including low-risk patients. Given the high mortality observed in patients with heart disease, guidelines suggest considering coronary bypass revascularization in those in need of a valve replacement. This experience with…
ISCHEMIA: New Analysis Might Change Study Outcome Interpretation
A new ISCHEMIA analysis has shown its outcomes are highly dependent on MI definition. The original conclusion had shown a significant difference between invasive and conservative strategies using the most sensible definition of MI: troponin elevation. When looking at events using MI definition as troponin elevation, we will see the conservative treatment reduces primary end…
