Rules of myocardial revascularisation REVIVEed : Quantify”non-viable tissue” first.

       ”It looks like, science oftentimes struggles at the hands of scientists

  The weakest link in medical research is framing the right research question. How will you explain the drama of research on myocardial viability studies that have been going on full steam for more than 3 decades,? Which has become junk now.

This truth came out from a secondary analysis of the famous REVIVED-BCIS2 trial. For the busy guys, the conclusion is given in the box below.

JAMA Cardiol. 2023;8(12):1154-1161.

Final message

We realize, in the game of myocardial revascularisation the quantum of dead tissue determines the outcome of revascularization, not the amount of living tissues. This same question was asked & answered more than a decade ago (2009) on this site, of course without that damning evidence.

Many times, we don’t require large-scale RCTs, years of toil, and efforts wasting resources to prove an apparent sense of thinking.
