Isolated reversible perfusion defects can occur in the inter ventricular septum with nuclear cardiology imaging in left bundle branch block (LBBB).

Coronary care units were dedicated intensive care areas where continuous ECG monitoring alerted the nursing staff of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) estimation using the Doppler wire is useful in assessing the need for a side branch stent in bifurcation disease.

High pass filter for bipolar intracardiac electrograms are set at thirty to fifty Hertz as the timing of the signal is more important and not the morphology
