Aortic Valve Calcification and Aortic Stenosis, Microvascular Resistance Reserve After PCI, Microvascular Injury Patterns
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the diagnostic value of aortic valve calcification levels in the assessment of low-gradient aortic stenosis. He then examines the prognostic value of microvascular resistance reserve after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with myocardial infarction. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on clinical outcomes associated with various microvascular injury patterns identified by cardiac MRI after STEMI. Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View
