Excellent question with a longish answer. We use PET at our center, and Lance Gould (the father of cor physiology) has published extensively about the. Ariables that predict outcomes. CFC trumps CFR and absolute myo. blood flow. I will repost my answers.
Ty, 12% ischemic burden comes from? If we can get consistently 8 mm2 MSA in prox LAD (before first branch), LIMA can be challenged by PCI. Means final postdilation is always with 3.5 mm 🎈

Left Main PCI - What’s New I had the pleasure of giving this talk at #CRT2025 on Monday. It was an honor to share the podium with gurus like @GoranEBC, @JWMoses, @TanveerRab, and @RinfretStephane. Here is a list of publications from 2024-25 that made the cut and some key takeways!

For fellows(From NIC Chennai) Diagnosis could have been made within a few seconds using echo. This is taken just to highlight the importance of looking at the levophase of pulmonary angiogram which is almost always neglected by students during practical exam.

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either. “Netanyahu Calls Palestinians ‘Collateral Damage’ As Israel Destroys Gaza” huffpost.com/entry/benjamin-…
