FFR-guided PCI strategy showed significantly lower rate of composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization.(FAME2)

This trial was conducted at 28 locations and 1,220 patients who are with stenosis >50%, comparing PCI + medical therapy to medical therapy alone.
The 888 patients who are FFR<0,80 were randomly categorized in either group.

At 5 years, the patients FFR-guided PCI group showed significantly lower rate than medical therapy only group, for composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization.


For details of this study, please refer to the following site.
Five-Year Outcomes with PCI Guided by Fractional Flow Reserve(The New England journal of medicine)

.....To manage patients after treatment, high accuracy tests requires stress and invasion to the patients, such as catheter, contrast agent, radiation and excersize.

MCG is the test to detect abnormality of heart cell without any invasion.
It is useful for long term monitoring of the patients who had surgery or events without invasion.

Cardiovascular Health Level in Older Age may associate with Cognitive Decline

In French population-based cohort study involving 6,626 individuals, an increased number of optimal cardiovascular health metrics were significantly associated with lower risk of incident dementia.  The metrics are defined by AHA, the American Heart Association, as a 7-item tools such as; 1)nonsmoking, 2)body mass index <25, 3)regular physical activity, 4)eating fish twice a week or more and fruits and vegetables at least 3 times a day, 5)cholesterol <200 mg/dL[untreated], 6)fasting glucose <100 mg/dL[untreated],and 7)blood pressure <120/80 mm Hg[untreated] These findings may support the promotion of cardiovascular health to prevent development of risk factors associated with dementia. MCG is the non-invasive test device to detect the cardiovascular disease related to the above metrics. Check MCG and improve your life style not only for your cardiovascular health but also for dementia. For more details of the study, please see th...
