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…

Despite significant improvements for earlier detection of and medical therapies for heart failure, a recent American Heart Association (AHA) study stated that the actual incidence of heart failure has not declined. Of interest is the fact that the AHA found hypertension precedes development of heart failure in 91% of cases. The increasing prevalence of these combined disease states escalates the…

Congenital heart disease affects approximately 0.8% of the population.1 It is also estimated that there are approximately one million adults in the US living with some form of congenital heart disease.2 In daily practice, echocardiography is the most widely used imaging modality for diagnosis and evaluation of these patients. As medical technology has developed, this modality has continuously…

Interventional Techniques to Treat Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease has been traditionally treated with surgery; however, with the development of interventional cardiology, patients are now benefiting from minimally invasive techniques.
Traditionally, open-heart surgery was performed to treat congenital stenoses and perform device closures for septal defects and other vascular…

Despite important therapeutic improvements in pharmacological and device therapies, the prognosis for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease is poor, even with optimal pharmacological and device management. Heart failure continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. It is the leading medical cause of hospitalization and is expected to result in an estimated direct and…
