Author(s): Stuart W Jamieson Added: 3 years ago
Pulmonary endarterectomy for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension from chronic thromboembolic disease is an uncommonly employed surgical procedure. However, this operation provides immediate and permanent relief of the pulmonary hypertension associated with the sequelae of unresolved pulmonary thromboembolic disease. Patients are generally not referred for operation because of a lack of… 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

Discovery of the Homocysteine Theory of Arteriosclerosis The American biochemist Vincent DuVigneaud discovered a new amino acid in 1932 by treating methionine with sulfuric acid. The structure of this amino acid is similar to cysteine, except for one extra carbon atom, hence the name homocysteine. Subsequent investigation established the role of homocysteine as an intermediate in sulfur amino… View more

The introduction of endovascular stent graft technology has ushered in a new era in therapy for diseases of the descending thoracic aorta. This ‘radical and revolutionary’ stent graft technology has been accompanied by simultaneous advances in non-invasive imaging and materials technology. The technical challenges of stent graft deployment in the descending thoracic aorta—such as proximity to the… View more
