Key result
The abstract outlines the objective to examine the impact of aortic stiffness on exercise tolerance and left ventricular filling after PCI, but reports no results.
Why the study?
Does aortic stiffness predict exercise tolerance and left ventricular filling pressure after PCI in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease?
Observational
Does aortic stiffness predict exercise tolerance and left ventricular filling pressure after PCI in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease?
Aortic stiffness may aid post-PCI risk stratification in stable angina; leaves open prospective validation of predictive value.
Considering the association between a stiff aorta and the rate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the significance of aortic stiffness in prediction of exercise tolerance and left ventricular function after PCI is not well studied. We therefore sought to examine the impact of aortic stiffness on exercise tolerance and left ventricular filling after PCI for patients with stable angina pectoris.
