Impact of culprit lesion morphology on prevalence of provoked myocardial ischaemia in patients with old myocardial infarction: A dipyridamole stress echocardiography, exercise electrocardiography and angiographic study
Abstract:We have recently shown that in patients with single vessel disease and no myocardial infarction, a complex plaque morphology makes myocardium more vulnerable to ischaemia during dipyridamole echocardiography testing. Whether coronary lesion morphology in the infarct-related artery in a chronic phase may also modulate prevalence of ischaemia in the same territory remains unknown. In order to determine the possible relationship between culprit lesion morphology in the infarct-related artery and the prevalence of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
