Patients with heart attacks often have a lifesaving procedure to open up the narrowed or blocked coronary artery responsible for their heart attack. In about 30-50% of these patients, additional blockages or narrowings that did not cause the heart attack are found. Evidence doesn’t support clinical decision-making on how to identify which of these additional narrowings to open or whether to open all of them.

In this interview, Shamir R. Mehta MD, MSc, FACC, and Matt Cavender MD, MPH, FACC, discuss Managing MVD in STEMI: What We Know and What We Still Need to Learn!.
