Welcome to the introductory segment of Dr Robert Jay Widmer's 'Cath Lab Guide to Coronary Reactivity Testing in Non‑Obstructive CAD'.Dr Widmer (The McKinney Heart Hospital, US) presents the case of a 25-year-old female endurance runner experiencing exertional, band-like chest pain. Her coronary CTA appears normal, while PET imaging reveals mildly reduced flow confined to the circumflex territory… View more

This case-based webinar brings together an experienced structural heart team to explore the practical use of transcatheter electrosurgery in the SESAME technique for patients with challenging left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Centred on stepwise, real‑world practice, the programme walks through when and how to use SESAME, from heart team decision‑making and imaging planning to… View more

Jaffar is an interventional cardiologist and Staff Clinician at the NHLBI, NIH. He has a special interest in structural heart disease innovation. He co-invented transcatheter electrosurgical techniques to cut heart tissue, including LAMPOON to prevent LVOT obstruction from TMVR, BASILICA to prevent coronary obstruction from TAVR, and ELASTIC/ELASTA-Clip to displace a MitraClip to enable TMVR and… View more

For patients with suspected angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) or ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), the diagnostic pathway can be challenging. A new study suggests that while exercise electrocardiography stress testing (EST) has limited ability to confirm underlying microvascular disease, its high negative predictive value makes it a valuable tool for… View more

In this 'Cath Lab Guide to Coronary Reactivity Testing', Dr Robert Jay Widmer (The McKinney Heart Hospital, US) turns the focus to thermodilution-based coronary physiology, employing both intracoronary and intravenous adenosine. He demonstrates step-by-step measurement of resting and hyperaemic transit times, distal coronary pressure, and the calculation of fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary… View more
