FAME 2 – The best initial strategy for patients with stable coronary artery disease: Do we have an answer at last?
BACKGROUND Results of the Fractional flow reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2 (FAME 2) trial were recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Munich and published concurrently in the New England Journal of Medicine. Interpretation of the results and clinical significance of the study continue to be topics of considerable controversy. FAME 2 is a...
متن کاملFAME 2: Reshaping the approach to patients with stable coronary artery disease
Contrary to its central role in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) remains largely restricted to patients in whom medical treatment fails to control symptoms, or those with a large area of myocardium at risk and/or high risk findings on non-invasive testing.(1,2) These recommendations are based on a numb...
متن کاملAssociation of the CETP TaqIB Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB polymorphism is associated with changes in lipid profile and may be a risk factor for CAD in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of CETP TaqIB polymorphism with CAD in...
متن کاملThe Association of Glomerular Filtration Rate with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus can influence coronary artery disease (CAD) independently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and CAD in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study evaluated 3624 T2DM patients with clinical presentation of CAD whose documents were registe...
متن کاملPatients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Background. Platelet aggregation is believed to contribute to the precipitation of acute ischemic syndromes. Because physical activity has been proposed as one possible trigger in converting a patient with chronic coronary artery disease to one with an acute ischemic syndrome, we examined the hypothesis that platelets become activated when coronary blood flow velocities (and thereby shear stres...
