By now everyone is aware of the involvement of computers in cardiology. This involvement ranges from imaging (image capture, image display, image management), to tabulating simple clinical data items, to enormous electronic health records systems. Computers are the necessary substrate for everything that occurs in cardiology, not to mention all the rest of the healthcare system. However, for a…

Cardiogenic shock (CGS) results in inadequate end organ perfusion and is associated with high mortality. For patients presenting with CGS following myocardial infarction (MI), reported rates of mortality range between 55% and 80% despite aggressive pharmacological therapy and use of the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Patients with CGS due to ventricular septal defect (VSD) or ventricular…

The prevalence of heart failure and the resultant mortality has continued to rise despite increased understanding of the pathogenesis and improvement in management strategies.1 Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is the final stage of most primary cardiovascular diseases, and greater severity is directly correlated with worse prognosis. The principal manifestation of heart failure progression is a…

Heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death and disability among both men and women in the US. Reductions in blood supply due to narrowings of the arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients (coronary arteries) result in chest pain and shortness of breath and may lead to permanent scarring of the heart muscle, as in the setting of a…

Abstract
The advantages of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) include shorter procedure times, reduced radiation exposure and the elimination of the need for general anesthesia. It is also effective in the safe performance of transseptal punctures. These have led to its increasing use in electrophysiology (EP) procedures. The use of ICE provides unrestricted access to the cardiac anatomy and…
