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…

The last three years have seen the application of percutaneous excimer laser atherectomy in patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction (AMI) gaining momentum. Current efforts in the US are concentrated toward identification of the best technologies for efficacious restoration of flow in the infarct-related vessel and toward shortening the time lag between the presentation of AMI patients to…

Approximately five million people present to the emergency department (ED) each year with chest pain, and billions of dollars are spent on assessment and treatment. Many therapies are time-dependent, so rapid identification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) - at high risk for adverse outcomes is essential. Missed or…

It has emerged as an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in prohibitive-, high-risk, and more recently, intermediate-risk surgical patients. More than 200,000 TAVRs have been performed in 65 countries around the world.1

Much has been written, but little is known, about the long-term outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES). The introduction of DES has extended the use of stents from a passive platform for vessel wall scaffolding to an active biotechnology vehicle for local delivery of antiproliferative pharmacotherapy. Like any other therapy or medical technology, no treatment is perfect and free of potential…
