STANFORD, Calif. — Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes — and ultimately save lives — if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the ...

When a Cardiologist tells you that you have“90 percent blockage,” the mind goes straight to fear. Most families immediately ask three questions. Is this a heart attack. Do I need a stent right now.
