<h3>Importance</h3> Transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAO) and transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) require an interventional echocardiographer to stand near the radiation source patient, primary of scatter radiation. Despite previous work demonstrating high exposure for cardiologists performing coronary structural heart interventions, similar data echocardiographers are lacking. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether exposed...
Atrial arrhythmias are quite common in patients after heart transplantation; they can occur via focal or reentrant mechanisms and amenable to curative therapy with catheter ablation. Integration of the individual patient's surgical anatomy arrhythmia pattern on 12‐lead electrocardiogram help both narrow potential diagnoses facilitate therapeutic decision making. This case highlights differential diagnosis management such a patient. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 23, pp. 225‐227, February 2012)
Eight to ten million individuals are evaluated for chest pain (CP) in Emergency Departments (ED) the United States each year. CP characteristics an important factor used help determine a diagnosis. We studied relationship between duration of and diagnosis acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients ED.The study population consisted sub-group analysis previously published study. The survey 1024 consecutive encounters who were possible ACS ED Henry Ford Hospital January May 1999, could be...
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in approximately 25% of adult population. The prevalence PFO high patients with cryptogenic stroke suggesting paradoxical embolism. closure carefully selected an effective secondary preventive strategy these patients. We report predictors management recommendations by the multidisciplinary Board and their impact on outcomes.
Ventricular arrhythmias in young people most commonly occur due to the presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. We present a case which patient had exercise induced syncopal spells and was found have ventricular tachycardia (VT) during both stress testing an electrophysiology study. Further genetic studies showed previously unseen desmosomal gene mutation confirming Arrhythmogenic Right Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
Background: The prevalence of PFO is up to 40% in patients with cryptogenic stroke and TIA suggesting paradoxical embolism. closure carefully selected an effective secondary preventive strategy these patients. We report predictors recommendation by multidisciplinary board for its impact on outcomes. Methods: Brain-Heart Board comprised vascular neurology, cardiology subspecialities (structural, electrophysiology cardiac imaging). Adult referred the consideration between October 2017 March...
<h3>Objective:</h3> Our study evaluates the predictors of closure recommendation by multidisciplinary board for PFO and its impact on outcomes. <h3>Background:</h3> in carefully selected patients is an effective secondary preventive strategy young cryptogenic stroke which requires close collaborative approach. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> Brain-Heart Board comprised vascular neurology cardiology subspecialities. Adult referred to consideration between October 2017 March 2021 were included this...
Pulmonary vein isolation by endocardial ablation is an effective treatment strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, its effectiveness of persistent forms AF limited. In patients with advanced AF, there are extra-pulmonary foci that initiate and perpetuate AF. The left posterior wall has been shown to have the highest proportion such triggers. Hybrid Convergent procedure a novel combines epicardial obtain pulmonary veins.
Background: The use of transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAO) and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair the mitral valve (TEER) requires an interventional echocardiographer (IE) to stand near radiation source. occupational exposure IEs remains understudied. Hypothesis: IE experience higher doses than cardiologists sonographers. Methods: Prospective, blinded were collected by dosimeters worn IEs, cardiologists, sonographers 30 consecutive LAAO...
