Sex Differences in Ischemic Heart Disease: Advances, Obstacles, and Next Steps [Frontiers in Cardiovascular Outcomes Research]
Evolving knowledge of sex-specific presentations, improved recognition of conventional and novel risk factors, and expanded understanding of the sex-specific pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease have resulted in improved clinical outcomes in women. Yet, ischemic heart disease continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women in the United States. The important publication by the Institute of Medicine titled "Women’s Health Research—Progress, Pitfalls, and Promise," highlights the persistent disparities in cardiovascular disease burden among subgroups of women, particularly women who are...

Design and Rationale of the RIPCORD 2 Trial (Does Routine Pressure Wire Assessment Influence Management Strategy at Coronary Angiography for Diagnosis of Chest Pain?): A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare Routine Pressure Wire Assessment With Conventional Angiography in the Management of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease [Methods Paper]
Conclusions: The aim of the RIPCORD 2 trial is to assess whether a strategy of routine fractional flow reserve–guided assessment and management of all major coronary arteries will be associated with more effective resource utilization, improved quality of life, and better clinical outcome, compared with angiographic guidance alone.

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I and the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Suspected Angina Pectoris [Original Articles]
Conclusions: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I concentration is an independent predictor of obstructive CAD in patients with suspected stable angina. Use of this test may improve the selection of patients for further investigation and treatment. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01149590.

Increasing Incidence and Prevalence of World Health Organization Groups 1 to 4 Pulmonary Hypertension: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Ontario, Canada [Original Articles]
Conclusions: The incidence and prevalence of adult PH are increasing. Groups 2 and 3 are the most common and lethal forms of PH. This study identifies an emerging epidemic of PH that likely has substantial adverse health and economic implications. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes)

"Please. Dont. Die.": A Grounded Theory Study of Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation [Original Articles]
Conclusions: Our study suggests that current CPR training programs may not adequately prepare lay rescuers for the reality of an OHCA and identifies several key knowledge gaps that should be addressed. The long-term psychological consequences of bystander intervention in OHCA remain poorly understood and warrant further study. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes)
