Noninvasive coronary angiography has been the holy grail of cardiovascular medicine for decades. Cardiac CT angiography obtained with multislice CT technology is finally reaching the high standard in ...

Routine use of early angiography and, if needed, reperfusion in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is standard of care for those with ST-segment elevation. But whether the same ...

After cardiac arrest, certain patients with suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are denied emergent angiography due to adverse clinical factors or the judgment that ...

Cardiac catheterization and angiograms are medical procedures that allow doctors to examine the inside of the heart and arteries. However, there are some differences between the two. Cardiac ...

Coronary angiography could wait among people successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), longer-term results from the COACT trial confirmed.

Patients successfully resuscitated after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who did not have ST-segment elevation on their electrocardiogram did not benefit from emergency coronary angiography in a new ...

Cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) includes coronary CT angiography (CTA) as well as using CT technology to assess disease of the cardiac valves, aorta and pericardium. This examination requires ...

A protocol of immediate angiography provided no mortality benefit over a strategy or delayed or more selective angiography among patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and without ...

Mortality is high in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In patients without ST-segment elevation on postresuscitation electrocardiography, it is unclear whether immediate coronary ...
