Since 1999, cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has evolved into the most innovative approach to cardiac imaging to emerge in over 30 years. The adoption and application of this remarkable technology represents a true revolution in the evaluation of patients for cardiac problems. The evaluation of patients with potential cardiac problems traditionally uses a variety of non-invasive or…

The use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NVKA) has revolutionized the antithrombotic treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), finally freeing them of the inconvenience and expense of international normalized ratio measurements. However, add to the equation the presence of coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement…

There are at least five million patients with heart failure (HF) in the US, 5% of whom are considered end-stage.1 Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the form of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is becoming an increasingly important option for these patients. Previously reserved for rescuing patients in the throes of refractory cardiogenic shock, MCS is now a mainstay of end-stage heart…

Chocolate and cocoa are gifts of the Americas to the rest of mankind.

Its use was reserved for royalty, and its function involved sexual interest and sexual performance—the king had a substantial harem. In the past several hundred years, a wide variety of medical…

Hypertension is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1–3 In the US, around 25% of the adult population has a blood pressure (BP) of ≥140/90mmHg, which is the defined cut-off value for hypertension.3 Although there are many effective pharmacotherapies available, many patients are not adequately controlled on their current antihypertensive regimens. The National Health and Nutrition…

Dyspnea, palpitations, edema, and fatigue are common symptoms during pregnancy. For women with congenital heart disease (CHD), it may be difficult to discern whether symptoms are due to normal pregnancy or underlying cardiac disease. Although most women with CHD tend to experience successful pregnancies, morbidity and mortality are significantly increased with more complex CHD lesions.1–6 Women…

Cardiac output (CO) is a fundamental measure for the assessment of cardiac performance and is applied widely to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and monitor its progression, as well as to monitor patients in challenging hemodynamic circumstances and to optimize therapy. CO is a key parameter in characterizing a patient’s hemodynamic state. For example, a notable characteristic of…
