The benefit of beta-blockers after myocardial infarction in patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis at the individual-patient level ...

Abstract: We propose an approach to quantify myocardial viability from late Gadolinium enhancement Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (LGE-CMR) images in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Kate Dineen was about 33 weeks pregnant with her second child when an ultrasound revealed that her baby had suffered a catastrophic stroke in utero and would likely either die before birth or have a ...

Most trials that have shown a benefit of beta-blocker treatment after myocardial infarction included patients with large myocardial infarctions and were conducted in an era before modern ...

1. In individuals suffering from ischemic left ventricular dysfunction with ejection fraction of 35% or lower, neither cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging nor stress echocardiography was able to ...

Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart. A common cause is plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. Myocardial ischemia may ...

The REVIVED-BCIS2 was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial involving 700 patients. Inclusion criteria were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%, extensive coronary artery ...
