While acute coronary syndromes inclusive of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been described in patients with polycythemia vera (PCV), optimal pharmacologic and interventional management strategies in the setting of drastically elevated platelet counts remain unclear.1 To our knowledge this is the first reported case of STEMI with massive thrombus burden in a patient with PCV… View more

This article will attempt to cover the areas of historic background, current status, newer applications of existing tracers, attenuation correction, metabolic imaging, sympathetic imaging, new stress agents, molecular imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) without on-site cyclotron. By no means is it meant to be inclusive of all that is currently happening but rather to illustrate some… View more

The prevalence of heart failure and the resultant mortality has continued to rise despite increased understanding of the pathogenesis and improvement in management strategies.1 Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is the final stage of most primary cardiovascular diseases, and greater severity is directly correlated with worse prognosis. The principal manifestation of heart failure progression is a… View more

A significant amount of data has accumulated over the past 20 years, demonstrating the value of exercise or pharmacologic stress non-invasive cardiovascular imaging techniques for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of patients with suspected or known cardiovascular disease.1-8 Stress can be induced by either multistage exercise testing that is symptom-limited or by pharmacologic means with… View more

Cardiac output (CO) is a fundamental measure for the assessment of cardiac performance and is applied widely to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and monitor its progression, as well as to monitor patients in challenging hemodynamic circumstances and to optimize therapy. CO is a key parameter in characterizing a patient’s hemodynamic state. For example, a notable characteristic of… View more

Amyloidosis is a heterogenous group of disorders that develops secondary to the deposition of abnormally folded proteins, amyloid fibrils, in the extracellular space. Amyloidosis is classified according to the type of the precursor protein that results in the formation of amyloid fibrils. It can be inherited or acquired, and can involve multiple organs, including the heart. Amyloidosis that… View more

Essentials in the Post-operative Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Jonathan N Johnson , Frank Cetta Added: 3 years ago
The last 60 years have seen significant changes in the care of congenital heart disease for both pediatric and adult patients. Increasing patient survival rates have widened the number and scope of potential patients seen by congenital cardiologists.1 These patients often undergo multiple surgeries, particularly since few lesions are truly ‘repaired.’ The majority of patients will have residua or… View more
