Stellate ganglion modulation alters ventricular arrhythmic vulnerability in myocardial infarction simulation models.
Your Heart's Hidden Wiring May Trigger Dangerous Rhythms After a Heart Attack
This simulation study utilized 14 patient-specific ventricular models to assess stellate ganglion-mediated sympathetic modulation. Results i…
Stress nerves near the heart can silently raise the risk of dangerous rhythms long after a heart attack heals and scans look stable.
FFR-guided complete revascularization reduces unplanned revascularization in MI patients with multivessel CAD
Complete Heart Repair May Stop Future Emergencies
A meta-analysis of 3,054 patients with myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease found that FFR-guided complete revascul…
Fixing all blocked heart arteries during surgery may stop future emergencies and unplanned procedures for patients with heart attacks.
Beta-blocker discontinuation noninferior to continuation in stable post-MI patients without heart failure
Stable heart attack patients may safely stop beta-blockers after one year, study finds
A randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial in 2540 stable post-MI patients with LVEF ≥40% and no heart failure who had received beta-blo…
Stable heart attack patients who stop beta-blockers after a year face similar risks to those who keep taking them, according to a major stud…
Early Aspirin Withdrawal Post-PCI Reduces Bleeding, No MI Increase with P2Y12 Monotherapy
Could Stopping Aspirin Early Help Heart Patients Avoid Bleeding Risks?
Meta-analysis shows early aspirin withdrawal (≤3 months) post-PCI with ticagrelor/prasugrel reduces bleeding (HR=0.55, 95% CI [0.42, 0.71]; …
Stopping aspirin within three months after a heart procedure reduces bleeding risk without increasing heart attack chances for many patients…
