Crux of the heart: Junction of the atrioventricular and inter ventricular grooves behind the heart.

Coronary arteries are blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart. Two coronary arteries, right and left, arises from the root of aorta.

Left ventricular diastolic function assessment by echocardiography usually on mitral inflow velocity measurement with demonstration of E/A reversal.

Right ventricular conduction delay by itself cannot cause a heart attack. Right ventricular conduction delay can occur with and without a heart attack.

Cardiac catheterisation laboratory is the place where angiography (imaging of blood vessels and the heart) and interventions are done.

Alpha and beta angles of r’ wave can be used to differentiate between Brugada syndrome and incomplete right bundle branch block.

Nanto’s technique is for changing a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) balloon catheter over a regular-length guide wire.

There is an inverse relation between the time to cardiac surgery after angiography and acute kidney injury.

Mitral stenosis is narrowing of the mitral valve between the left atrium and left ventricle (upper and lower chambers on the heart on the left side).

Diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with LGE was ninety seven percent and equivalent to that of invasive coronary angiography.
