Eagles Eye View: Can Self-Service BP Kiosks Improve Hypertensive Health?
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle evaluates the potential value of self-service blood pressure (BP) kiosks and their potential to improve hypertensive health nationwide. He then discusses the FLAVOUR trial and its comparable outcomes with fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided treatment for intermediate coronary stenosis. Finally, Dr. Eagle explores how continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
