TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the relationship between changes in pulse wave amplitude (PWA) of the finger and peripheral endothelial function and found that PWA during reactive hyperemia is influenced by factors known to affect vascular function, including cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: The author’s biography is based on a manuscript originally written by Gordon C. Dickinson in 2012 and then edited by David I. Dickinson.

TL;DR: The findings substantiate the importance of ventricular remodeling as central in the pathophysiology of advancing heart failure and support the role of measures of LV remodeling in the clinical investigation of novel heart failure treatments.

TL;DR: This revision reflects new clinical data, reflects changes in test utilization patterns, and clarifies echocardiography use where omissions or lack of clarity existed in the original criteria.

TL;DR: A consensus statement as discussed by the authors provides a synopsis of available evidence on the role of the exercise ECG and cardiac imaging modalities, both those in common use as well as developing technologies that may add clinical value to the diagnosis and risk assessment of the symptomatic and asymptomatic woman with suspected atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
