The introduction of percutaneous coronary angioplasty in 1977 by Dr Andreas Grüntzig1 was one of the most remarkable achievements in the cardiology realm, opening the door to numerous advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Due to advances in PCI techniques over the past four decades, catheters along with four generations of coronary stents have dramatically changed the… View more

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… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Soraya M Samii , Javier E Banchs Added: 3 years ago
The use of implantable devices to treat arrhythmias started with the implantable pacemaker back in the late 1950s. The risks and costs of implantation limited the indications for the procedure initially. A similar pattern was seen with the initial implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in the early 1980s. In the late 1990s, technology of both these devices focused on the management of… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Soraya M Samii , Javier E Banchs Added: 3 years ago
Abstract The concept of using an implantable device to manage arrhythmias and heart failure started over 50 years ago. Since then, we have seen these devices improve patient outcomes from bradyarrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure. These devices are now standard of care in the management of patients and include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter… View more
