The stethoscope was invented in the early 19th century. It is now the most readily recognized tool of the physician and healthcare worker, yet its demise has been wrongly but repeatedly foretold over the years. This usually occurs when other diagnostic tools are invented and gain popularity. There is an old tale of an early 20th-century radiologist who placed a stethoscope prominently for all to… View more

Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation (AF), the chaotic and disorganized activity of the upper chambers of the heart, is the most common cardiac rhythm disturbance. It affects approximately 1% of the US population, or almost three million people. It occurs more frequently in the aged, affecting about 5% of people over 70 and as many as 10% of people over the age of 80. AF is also considered to… View more

Role of Intravascular Ultrasound in Guiding Complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Author(s): Brandon Quintana , Akram Ibrahim Added: 3 years ago
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been rapidly evolving since its initial application in 1977. Over the years, it has become a mainstay of the treatment of coronary artery disease, including acute coronary syndromes and stable ischemic heart disease. With the advent of novel ancillary technologies, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), it has… View more

The Problem of Contrast-induced Nephropathy Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an increasingly common cause of acute renal failure in both hospitalized patients and out-patients. The growth in contrast-enhanced imaging and interventional procedures is one cause of the increased incidence of CIN. An aging patient population, with more comorbidities such as reduced renal function, may be… View more

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder of the pulmonary circulation in which elevated pressure in the pulmonary vascular circuit, when severe, can lead to right heart failure and eventually cause death. The last three decades have seen significant advances in our understanding of this group of disorders and, with this understanding, the development of novel therapies to assist in… View more

Most cases of myocardial infarction and stroke occur when a thrombus is formed on a previously stable plaque that ruptures.1 Persons at risk typically have no premonitory symptoms, and angiographic studies of coronary arteries in patients with non-fatal acute coronary syndromes (ACS) showed that most such events are due to rapid progression of mild, hemodynamically insignificant lesions.2–4… View more
