Do you think there is any hope for the continuation of radiation therapy with drug-eluting stents? We know that drug-eluting stents reduce restenosis, but they do not eliminate it. It is our estimation that there will be around a 10%...

ABSTRACT: Background. Ruptured plaques are associated with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) that, in turn, are associated with a poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to...

How do registries differ from randomized controlled trials (RCTs)? Unlike RCTs, registries are not built on randomization and therefore may at times be subject to case selection. Furthermore, it is often difficult to draw a conclusion from...
