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… View more

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… View more

“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… View more

PCR e-Course 2020: Derivation of FFR from Coronary Computed Tomography — Dr Jelmer Westra
Author(s): Jelmer Westra Added: 3 years ago
Dr Jelmer Westra (Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, DK) discusses CT-QFR or myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with coronary stenosis on CTA. Questions: 1. Can you remind us of the Dan-NICAD study? 2. What was the rationale of the sub-study you conducted? 3. What was the design of the sub-study? 4. What were your findings? 5. What are the benefits of CT-QFR for patients with… View more

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… View more
