Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has evolved greatly over the last 20 years. This article reviews its current clinical uses, and describes some of the potential for even greater utility in the near future. Electron beam tomography (EBT) was developed 20 years ago specifically for cardiac imaging. Although the technique can quantify ventricular anatomy and function1 as well as myocardial… View more

Coarctation: A Review
Author(s): Marc G Cribbs Added: 3 years ago
The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is slightly less than 1% of all live births.1 With extensive medical and surgical innovation over the past 50 years, and the high-quality care received in childhood, 85–90% of children with CHD in the US survive into adulthood. As a result, the number of adults with congenital heart defects in the US now exceeds 1 million, with a projected continued… View more

In children and young adults, sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs in approximately 1-2 per 100,000 population.1,2 While the overwhelming majority of occurrences of SCD occur in the adult population and are due to ischemic heart disease, very few cases in a pediatric population are. Pediatric SCD is a relatively uncommon occurrence whose underlying etiology often remains elusive. A long list of… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as a therapeutic option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered to be of intermediate, high or prohibitive surgical risk.1–5 As a result of favorable TAVR outcomes and substantial improvements in transcatheter heart valve (THV) technologies and implantation techniques, the feasibility of broadening… View more

Hybrid procedures integrate and combine endovascular intervention with surgical therapy. The goal of such an approach is to offer a less invasive therapeutic modality while optimizing patient care and minimizing peri-operative morbidity and mortality. This review will discuss the different forms of hybrid therapy that are currently available and focus on the role they play in the treatment of… View more

Author(s): Marvin J Slepian Added: 3 years ago
Heart failure remains the final common pathway of all forms of heart disease. Currently, more than 20 million patients suffer with heart failure in the US and Europe combined.1 Over the past two decades, advances in medical therapeutics have made inroads in reducing mortality associated with early- and mid-stage heart failure. Unfortunately, once patients progress to advanced heart failure, i.e… View more
