Among the various cardiovascular diseases, non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality.1 DCM is characterised by the presence of left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of coronary artery disease or abnormal loading conditions (hypertension, valvular disease).2 It originates from several aetiologies and includes…

Early coronary angiography performed during acute MI (AMI) identifies an occluded vessel in most patients with ST elevation MI (STEMI)1 and less frequently in those with non-STEMI;2 however, ≥90 % of patients with AMI have evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease.3 For these patients with overt coronary artery disease (CAD), the benefits of reperfusion strategies and cardioprotective…

Although cardiovascular mortality has declined progressively in developed countries, ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic stable angina cause a worse prognosis and poor quality of life and can dramatically increase healthcare costs.1–4 Traditionally, chronic stable angina has been interpreted as reversible episodes of myocardial ischaemia due to the presence of coronary artery disease…

Stable angina pectoris is the most prevalent clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease. While the overall prognosis in patients with stable angina is good, with a low yearly event rate of ~1–2 %,1 for many, adequate symptom control can be difficult to achieve, leading to significantly impaired quality of life.
The traditional approach to the pharmacological management of stable angina, as…

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has found widespread use as an important tool in the cardiologists' armamentarium for several years now, mainly because of superior diagnostic accuracy and ability to perform complete anatomical and functional assessment in a single study without ionising radiation. The following will summarise specific uses of CMR for the interventional cardiologist.
