All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The difference between standard crush technique and step crush technique is that each stent is introduced into the vessel and deployed separately.

In both classic T stenting and modified T stenting for coronary bifurcations, both branches are initially wired and balloon dilated.

Culottes stenting technique for coronary bifurcation gives good coverage of the bifurcation, but has more metal in the proximal segment.

Sometimes tachycardia focus is sub epicardial situated and needs epicardial ablation either through the coronary sinus or from the true epicardial aspect.

New study which found no significant association between any of the components of early repolarization and cardiac mortality.

Myocardial blood flow (measured by positron emission tomography) during stress divided by resting flow was taken as the coronary flow reserve.

Stress tissue Doppler imaging is done under dobutamine stress to avoid the problem of tissue Doppler imaging during exercise.

Serum vitamin E levels were lower in patients with recurrence of AF after electrical cardioversion.

Flash pulmonary edema in renal artery stenosis has been called Pickering Syndrome

Allopurinol infusion acutely improves the concentrations of ATP in the myocardium of the failing human heart.
