Min Chul Kim, Seok Oh, Youngkeun Ahn, Keumyi Moon, Joon Ho Ahn, Dae Young Hyun, Kyung Hoon Cho, Doo Sun Sim, Young Joon Hong, Ju Han Kim, Myung Ho Jeong, Jeong Gwan Cho, Jong Chun Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(3):608-616. Published online January 4, 2021
Background/Aims: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-TnT) assays detect very low levels of cardiac troponin. This study examined the interval change between initial and subsequent hs-TnT levels and evaluated its ability to predict significant coronary stenosis.
Methods: The study analyzed 163 pat..

Optimization of Stent Deployment by Intravascular Ultrasound
Hyuck-Jun Yoon, Seung-Ho Hur
Korean J Intern Med. 2012;27(1):30-38. Published online February 28, 2012
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a useful diagnostic method that provides valuable information in addition to angiography regarding the coronary vessel lumen, dimensions, plaque burden, and characteristics. The major use of IVUS in coronary intervention is to guide interventional strategies and..
