TL;DR: In this prospective multicenter trial of chest pain patients without known CAD, 64-multidetector row CCTA possesses high diagnostic accuracy for detection of obstructive coronary stenosis at both thresholds of 50% and 70% stenosis.

TL;DR: In this population-based study, including a high proportion of elderly patients, malignant disease at initiation of warfarin anticoagulation was significantly associated with both major hemorrhage and any thromboembolism.

TL;DR: The quality of acute chest pain related to cocaine use is indistinguishable from that experienced in acute myocardial ischemia and are most likely normal findings in young black men that can be readily recognized in the emergency department.

TL;DR: Perfusion imaging with Tc-99m-sestamibi can identify post-MI patients at hospital discharge in whom LV function is discordant with the measured infarct size, predictive of late changes in LV function.

TL;DR: Significant variation within each computer and cardiologist method for measurement of the ECG waveform intervals is found, and delineation of variability within and between ECG interval measurement methods may allow more reliable application ofECG interval changes in the therapeutic medical management of patients and prevention of side effects from drugs that affect ECG intervals.
