Aims The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and whole-cycle Pd/Pa investigate coronary physiology during non-hyperaemic conditions. To test for unique physiologic properties of the wave-free period w
Despite the lack of direct evidence for cell multiplication, proliferation of smooth muscle cells in human atherosclerotic lesions has been assumed to play a central role in ontogeny of the plaque. We
Mice with homozygous null mutations in the HDL receptor (SR-BI) and apoE genes (SR-BI KO/apoE double KO (dKO) mice) spontaneously develop occlusive, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and d
Background Cardiac rehabilitation is offered to individuals after cardiac events to aid recovery and reduce the likelihood of further cardiac illness. However, patient participation remains suboptimal
