In the last decade, transcatheter closure of various cardiac defects has become a safe and effective alternative to surgery.1 The advantages include less procedure time, shorter hospital stay, less emotional stress, and no scar on the chest. The defects that can be closed non-surgically include intracardiac defects such as the atrial septal defect (ASD), patent foramen ovale (PFO), ventricular…

While acute coronary syndromes inclusive of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been described in patients with polycythemia vera (PCV), optimal pharmacologic and interventional management strategies in the setting of drastically elevated platelet counts remain unclear.1 To our knowledge this is the first reported case of STEMI with massive thrombus burden in a patient with PCV…

Surgeons have contributed studies of the pathophysiology and treatment of arrhythmias in experimental animals and patients during thoracotomy. This research has involved epicardial1 and endocardial2 pacemakers and implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs).3 Surgeons helped to define the mechanisms and ablation methods for supraventricular arrhythmias (including Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome…

A working definition of Heart Failure (HF) was recently conceptualized by the Heart Failure Society of America as:
"a syndrome caused by cardiac dysfunction, generally resulting from myocardial muscle dysfunction or loss and characterized by LV dilation or hypertrophy. Whether the dysfunction is primarily systolic or diastolic or mixed, it leads to neurohormonal and circulatory abnormalities,…

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes air-filled microspheres as blood pool agents, which act as intravascular indicators, resulting in improved accuracy and reliability in performing ultrasound images of the heart. CEUS is increasingly used throughout the US, South America, Australia, the Middle East, Europe, Japan, Canada, and Asia as a…

In this short interview, Dr Scott Solomon (Brigham And Women's Hospital & Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, US) discusses the design and baseline of the DELIVER trial.
This trial was designed to evaluate the effects of the dapagliflozin on cardiovascular death, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, or urgent HF visits in patients with HF with mildly reduced and preserved left ventricular ejection…
