Cardiology:

It is well-established that PCI in patients with stable but symptomatic coronary artery disease relieves angina and improves quality of life without reducing risk for acute MI or death compared with MT (1). Despite this evidence, advocates for PCI continue to search for improvements in methodology or patient selection that could show that revascularization of significantly stenotic lesions improves prognosis.
The FAME 1 study showed that FFR-guided...
