As coronary angiography is of limited value in defining the functional significance of a stenosis, the timely article by Balanescu in this issue of European Cardiology Review rationally proposes to integrate the anatomic information with a functional assessment, either by measuring coronary flow reserve (CFR) or intracoronary artery pressure with fractional flow reserve (FFR). CFR measurements…

Evidence spanning from the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis to epidemiological studies consistently support the direct association of elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Meta-analysis of 14 trials of statin therapy, with more than 90,000 participants, has shown that each 1mmol/l (39mg/dl) of LDL-C reduction…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) due to atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Early prevention of atherothrombotic disease with a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, optimal body weight and no smoking) is considered the best method of “treating” CAD, although increasing age remains associated with significant cardiovascular events.
When coronary atherothrombotic disease…
