Does metoprolol effect myocardial fractional flow reserve in patients with intermediate coronary stenoses?
In this study, FFR was found not to be influenced by metoprolol treatment in patients with intermediate coronary stenoses and a preserved ejection fraction.
This predictive gene expression profile was obtained with a non-invasive procedure. After further validation in other cohorts of patients, it could be proposed and used on a large scale to select likely RA responders to combined anakinra-MTX. Trial registration.
