To ensure that guidelines reflect current knowledge, available treatment options, and optimum medical care, existing clinical practice guideline recommendations are modified new added in response to data, medications or devices. keep pace with evolving evidence, the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines ("Task Force") has issued this focused update revise basis recently published data. This is not based a complete...
Background Comprehensive assessments of the frequency and associated doses from radiologic nuclear medicine procedures are rarely conducted. The use these population-based radiation dose increased remarkably 1980 to 2006. Purpose To determine change in per capita exposure United States 2006 2016. Materials Methods U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection Measurements conducted a retrospective assessment for 2016 compared results previously published data year Effective values were...
The American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF), Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Thoracic Surgeons, the Association Surgery, along with key specialty subspecialty societies, conducted an appropriateness review common clinical scenarios in which coronary revascularization is frequently considered. were developed to mimic situations encountered everyday practice included information on symptom status, extent medical therapy, risk level as assessed by noninvasive...
Patients with heart disease are frequently treated supplemental oxygen. Although oxygen can exhibit vasoactive properties in many vascular beds, its effects on the coronary circulation have not been fully characterized. To examine whether administration affects blood flow (CBF) a clinical setting, we measured 18 patients stable of breathing 100% by face mask for 15 min CBF (via Doppler wire), conduit diameter, response to intracoronary infusion endothelium-dependent dilator ACh and...
Background Interventional cardiologists and staff are subject to unique physical demands that predispose them distinct occupational health hazards not seen in other medical disciplines. Methods To characterize the prevalence of these problems, The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography Interventions (SCAI) surveyed its members by email. Inquiries included age, years invasive practice, diagnostic interventional cases per year. Questions focused on orthopedic (spine, hips, knees, ankles)...
The American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF), Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Thoracic Surgeons, the Association Surgery, along with key specialty subspecialty societies, conducted an update appropriate use criteria (AUC) coronary revascularization frequently considered. In initial document, 180 clinical scenarios were developed to mimic patient presentations encountered in everyday practice included information on symptom status, extent medical therapy,...
To examine the relationship between occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and prevalence of lens changes in interventional cardiologists (ICs) catheterization laboratory ("cath-lab") staff.Exposure is associated with development opacities. ICs cath-lab staff can receive high doses without protection, may thus be at risk for opacity formation.We conducted a cross-sectional study an cardiology conference. Study participants completed questionnaire pertaining potential confounders...
