The outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have improved in recent years with the more widespread adoption of definitive reperfusion therapies, including rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, despite the near universal restoration of normal epicardial flow following primary PCI for STEMI…

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice in the management of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It has been constantly observed that, despite restoring good epicardial flow with PCI, myocardial perfusion at the cellular level remains impaired in nearly 50 % of STEMI patients. This led to the development of a new class of antiplatelet…

“Nothing comes to us except falsified and altered by our senses.”
Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
Coronary angiography (CA) has been performed in cardiology centres for more than 50 years. The diagnosis it provides soon became the gold standard in coronaropathy. It is a purely anatomic diagnosis, and this approach has made a deep mark on cardiology, although the need for a prior non-invasive…

The evaluation of ischaemic heart disease requires the measurement of regional and global ventricular function, identification of the presence and extent of myocardial ischaemia, visualisation of luminal narrowing of the coronary arteries and assessment of myocardial infarction (MI) and viability. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved over the last decade into a valuable…
