The use of iodinated contrast media (CM) for both diagnostic imaging and interventional studies continues to increase. The introduction of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanners allows for quicker imaging of internal organs, and image acquisition is now fast enough for study of the coronary arteries. This technology requires the delivery of a high concentration of iodine to the… View more

HRT Linked to Heart Attack Reduction in Women Under 60 Years Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could reduce heart attacks in women under the age of 60 by up to one-third. A study, conducted by researchers from Stanford and Cornell universities, analyzed statistical data for over 39,000 women. It uncovered that, for women who began HRT treatment to relieve menopausal symptoms whilst in their 50s,… View more

According to NICE,HeartFlow FFRct should be considered as an option for patients with stable, recent-onset chest pain who are offered CCTA. Using HeartFlow FFRct may avoid the need for invasive coronary angiography and revascularisation. Based on the current evidence and assuming there is access to appropriate CCTA facilities, using HeartFlow FFRct may lead to cost savings of £391 per… View more

“When you fail to prepare, you’re preparing to fail.” – Coach John Wooden Ongoing technological and procedural innovations increasingly permit the safe and effective performance of ever more high-risk and complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in the modern cardiac catheterization laboratory. Anatomic characteristics of higher risk include unprotected distal left main stenosis,… View more

Intervention
Author(s): Gregory J Dehmer Added: 3 years ago
The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery revascularization has grown considerably since the first balloon angioplasty in 1977. Improvements in equipment and drug therapies plus the development of coronary artery stents have all contributed to the growth of PCI as an alternative to surgical revascularization. Compared with the early days of balloon angioplasty, when… View more
