Abstract
The human coronary collateral circulation is prognostically relevant. The understanding of collateral formation and its determinants may guide future therapeutic strategies aiming at promoting collateral growth and functionality, and hence reducing the global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Keywords: Coronary circulation, collateral circulation, determinants.

Advances in Managing Cardiogenic Shock and the Value of Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support
Despite the advances in cardiology, the outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock remain poor. There is an increasing interest and use of mechanical circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. Additionally, the complexity of coronary interventions has increased during the last decade with the potential of treating more high-risk patients ...read more

Recent studies have shown promising results in the use of AI for early detection, diagnosis, ...read more
Chronic Disease Self-Management for Heart Failure – A Mini Review into Performance Gaps
Chronic disease self-management (CDSM) is a vital component of chronic disease management. There remain several important deficits in this concept. Its benefit are clear, many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, rheumatology syndromes have shown benefit in quality of life and quantitative measures of outcomes. Yet, in congestive heart ...read more
The Era of Cardiac Medication and Implantable Devices Therapy in Heart Failure Treatment Continues
The heart failure (HF) remains a serious public health problem and affects 64 million people worldwide. Although advances in medical therapy and device assistance have significantly improved HF outcomes, the implications of HF are still dramatic. In recent years, innovative developments have been made in HF treatment management, based on ...read more
