Combining acetylcholine provocation testing with intravascular imaging may help identify patients at high risk for adverse cardiovascular events driven by coronary spasm and vulnerable plaque rupture.
Fernandez-Jimenez et al. [(1)][1] described a bimodal time course of myocardial edema in a pig model of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. We concur with their observations regarding a dynamic pattern in infarct zone T2, but “waves of edema” seem implausible. We have studied
