Excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) with diabetes has been recognized for some time. Among diabetic individuals, CVD accounts for >50% of all deaths, and stroke accounts for an additional 15%.1 Diabetic women are at particularly high risk of CVD; diabetes eliminates the well-described female advantage for coronary disease mortality.2 This is alarming since the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is… View more

Over the past 35 years, treatment of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome has changed drastically. Balloon angioplasty offered an early mechanical solution but carried a high risk for acute complications and subsequent restenosis, mainly from recoil. The bare metal stent (BMS) improved restenosis because of recoil, but still carried a relatively high rate of restenosis because of… View more

Risk of Complications During Pregnancy in Women with Congenital Aortic Valve Stenosis
Author(s): Els Troost , Werner Budts Added: 3 years ago
The prevalence of heart disease in pregnant women is estimated to be between 0.1 and 4%; although the prevalence has not changed for decades, the relative contribution of different types of heart disease varies according to the study population and the study period. Nowadays, in developed countries the largest group of females with an underlying heart disease consists of women with congenital… View more

Non-ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS) include unstable angina (UA) and NSTE myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and account for one and a half million hospitalisations in the US annually. Patients with ACS are typically managed by initial medical stabilisation followed by an early invasive approach, whereby cardiac catheterisation is performed, usually within 24 hours of… View more

Since its original description in 1992, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has advanced from the method of using a simple single-detector to a powerful imaging multidetector system capable of acquiring 16 channels of data with rapid imaging acquisition and higher spatial resolution, while simultaneously allowing patient coverage of more than 120cm with a single scan. Computed tomography (CT)… View more
