Abstract: Confirmation of significant ischemia is crucial for proper management of coronary artery disease. Non-hypaeremic indices along with fractional flow reserve are endorsed by current guidelines to prove ischemia. However some discrepancies between hyperaemic and non-hyperaemic… read more here.

Abstract: Following myocardial infarction (MI), elderly patients have a poorer prognosis than younger patients, which may be linked to increased coronary microvessel susceptibility to injury. Interleukin-36 (IL-36), a newly discovered proinflammatory member of the IL-1 superfamily,… read more here.
