PCI Choice Decision Aid for Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been shown to reduce the risk of death and myocardial infarction (MI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) when compared with optimal medical therapy (OMT) alone, most patients continue to think that PCI for stable CAD is a life-saving procedure. PCI for stable CAD is known to improve patients’ quality of life more rapidly than medic...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve-guided PCI versus medical therapy in stable coronary disease.
BACKGROUND The preferred initial treatment for patients with stable coronary artery disease is the best available medical therapy. We hypothesized that in patients with functionally significant stenoses, as determined by measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus the best available medical therapy would be superior to the best available medical t...
متن کاملFractional Flow Reserve Is Not Associated with Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition and increased blood levels of inflammatory biomarkers have been observed in acute coronary syndromes. In addition, high expression of inflammatory markers is associated with worse prognosis of coronary artery disease. The presence and extent of inducible ischemia in patients with stable angina has previously been shown to have strong progn...
متن کاملPCI Choice Decision Aid for Stable Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized Trial.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable coronary artery disease does not reduce the risk of death and myocardial infarction compared with optimal medical therapy (OMT), but many patients think otherwise. PCI Choice, a decision aid (DA), was designed for use during the clinical visit and includes information on quality of life and mortality outcomes for PCI with OMT versus...
