- Paclitaxel stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division
- Hybrid revascularization involves LIMA-to-LAD grafting and PCI of ≥1 non-LAD arteries, when there are limitations to traditional CABG, eg. heavily calcified proximal aorta, lack of suitable graft conduit, unfavourable LAD for PCI, may be performed in one operative setting or as staged procedure

- Acebutolol has inherent sympathomimetic activity
- Acupuncture should not be used for improving symptoms or reducing CV risk in patients with SIHD (class III)

- LQT1 patients experience cardiac events during swimming
