A new, noninvasive diagnostic test for coronary artery disease is associated with a higher rate of subsequent invasive cardiac procedures and higher health-care spending, according to an observational ...

In an analysis of Medicare data of nearly 300,000 patients who underwent outpatient evaluation for coronary artery disease by either computed tomography (CT) angiography or stress testing, those who ...

Coronary angiography could wait among people successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), longer-term results from the COACT trial confirmed.

Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of illness and mortality worldwide. When heart-related symptoms arise, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue, medical ...

A speedy trip to the cath lab for coronary angiography is not linked to better outcomes in patients who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest but do not have ST-segment elevation on an initial ECG, ...

After cardiac arrest, certain patients with suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are denied emergent angiography due to adverse clinical factors or the judgment that ...

Patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography were more likely to later have invasive cardiac procedures and higher costs compared to patients who underwent stress testing, according ...
