Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Microvascular obstruction is very prevalent in acute coronary syndromes, is not well recognized, and has serious long-term adverse consequences, including ventricular remodeling, scarring, and congestive heart failure. It is readily diagnosable noninvasively by cardiac MRI. Studies as that by Prati et al. suggest that safe, effective, and simple therapy is possible, but needs optimization. Microvascular obstruction is emerging as a new and exciting frontier for the interventionalist, who can eliminate stenosis in large epicardial vessels but will soon be able to open a multitude of obstructed microvessels. In doing so, the interventionalist will become key in not just treating ischemia in myocardial infarction, but treating heart failure by preventing it. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
