Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly used in
revascularisation of patients with left main coronary artery disease in place of the standard …

Importance Coronary artery disease (CAD) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD)
may contribute to the pathophysiologic characteristics of heart failure with preserved ejection …

This study was designed to document noninvasively the pathological mechanisms
responsible for myocardial fibrosis and to assess the clinical utility of plasma markers of …

Background—The success of coronary reperfusion therapy in ST-segment–elevation
myocardial infarction (MI) is commonly limited by failure to restore microvascular perfusion …

Background The time course and relationships of myocardial hemorrhage and edema in
patients after acute ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are uncertain …

Background: Studies on exercise-induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in veteran
athletes suggest the presence of abnormal diastolic filling and incomplete regression of LVH …

Background The pathophysiology of myocardial injury and repair in patients with ST‐
elevation myocardial infarction is incompletely understood. We investigated the …

Background—Distal coronary to aortic pressure ratio (Pd/Pa) and instantaneous wave-free
ratio (iFR) are indices of functional significance of a coronary stenosis measured without …

Although carbon sequestration programs for non-industrial forestland owners in
Massachusetts are being developed, very little is known about the program attributes of …

Myocardial fibrosis in hypertensive heart disease remains an area of intensive research.
