PR segment depression and PR-ST dissociation PR segment depression can occur in pericarditis and atrial infarction. Dissociation between PR and ST segments (PR-ST dissociation) can occur in pericarditis.
Measures to reduce radiation exposure during interventional procedures Important measures to reduce radiation exposure include: Lower the rate of fluoroscopy Minimize the use of cinefluoroscopy which has 10
Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR): Translesional pressure gradient in a specific diastolic interval is measured. This period has a constant microvascular resistance and results similar to FFR can
