Randomised clinical trials in interventional cardiovascular medicine

The PCR Trials Book provides updates on the latest randomised clinical trials of relevance to practising interventional cardiologists, in the field of coronary, valvular and structural interventions. Each trial, selected by the Editors, has been synthesised in order to provide you with a concise overview.

Browse the full content in the Table of Contents to stay informed about the most relevant findings in the field.

The medical journals that we selected for screening are New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, JAMA, bmj, European Heart Journal, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Circulation, Annals of Internal Medicine, EuroIntervention, JACC Cardiovascular Interventions and Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions.
