The Paradox of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance: Restoration of Pulmonary Capillary Recruitment as a Sine Qua Non for True Therapeutic Success in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Open
Exercise-induced increases in pulmonary blood flow normally increase pulmonary arterial pressure only minimally, largely due to a reserve of pulmonary capillaries that are available for recruitment to carry the flow. In pulmonary arterial …

Impact of Opioid Analgesia and Inhalation Sedation Kalinox on Pain and Radial Artery Spasm during Transradial Coronary Angiography Open
With respect to the transfemoral approach, transradial procedures enable a drastic reduction of bleeding events and are associated with a reduction of mortality. Radial artery spasm (RAS) is one of the most common complications and may lea…

Impact of smoking on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease Open
Aims Smoking is a major preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. However, the ‘smoker’s paradox’ suggests that it is associated with better survival after acute myocardial infarction. We aimed to investigate the im…

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Following Mitral Valve Replacement: Challenges for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Therapy Open
In the race to develop a transcatheter mitral valve, experience with new techniques and devices has resulted in revisiting a previously known complication of surgical mitral valve replacement and repair: left ventricular outflow tract obst…

Antiplatelet Therapy in ACS Patients: Comparing Appropriate P2Y12 Inhibition by Clopidogrel to the Use of New P2Y12 Inhibitors Open
In PCI-treated ACS patients, clopidogrel therapy and PRI VASP ＜61% were not associated with increased risks of thrombotic events compared to prasugrel or ticagrelor therapy.

Tailored antiplatelet therapy in high-risk ACS patients treated with PCI stenting: lessons from the ANTARCTIC trial Open
The recently reported ANTARCTIC trial by Cayla and colleagues is the latest large-scale study of personalized antiplatelet therapy based on platelet function testing (1). In this open-label, blinded end-point, randomized, controlled trial,…

Early and Late Atrial Arrhythmias After Lung Transplantation ― Incidence, Predictive Factors and Impact on Mortality ― Open
Early AA following LT is common in contrast with the low occurrence of late, often organized, AA. Early and late AAs do not affect mortality. PTsPAP is an independent predictor of late AA. Double LT protects against late AF but not AFL.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors sent for emergency angiography: a clinical score for predicting acute myocardial infarction Open
These data suggest that fewer than half of patients with OHCA undergoing emergency coronary angiography present with AMI. The identification of OHCA patients with AMI might be improved by a simple score using post-resuscitation ECG and sim…

Impact of Malignancies in the Early and Late Time Course of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Open
In the present takotsubo patients, the prevalence of malignancy was high and may have affected cardiovascular outcomes through the activation of inflammatory and neurohormonal mechanisms. (Circ J 2016; 80: 2192-2198).
