Letter: Grading of angina pectoris.

TL;DR: Clinically, TMR improves cardiac function in some patients with severe ischemic cardiac disease, but pathophysiological data as well as morphological features from human myocardium could not explain this phenomenon, so TMR treatment should be used only as 'the last chance' in patients withsevere angina pectoris.

TL;DR: The hospitalized surgical patient requires a team approach and a comprehensive preoperative evaluation and medical optimization is often necessary to allow the anesthesiologist and surgeon to deliver the best surgical outcome.

TL;DR: The score system identifies patients with increased risk of death while waiting for coronary artery bypass grafting and may be used to facilitate and improve the prioritization process.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that interventions with a concurrent focus on illness acceptance and helplessness could promote patients' subjective health and have significant clinical implications.
