CREST found a higher risk of myocardial infarction after carotid endarterectomy while the risk of stroke was higher after carotid artery stenting.

Reverse remodeling with CRT is associated with a significant risk reduction for life threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

Normal ECG with abnormal heart is not an unusual situation. Severe triple vessel coronary artery can exist with normal ECG.

Pulmonary vein potentials are rapid high frequency deflections of short duration.

Fontan circulation: Currently the term Fontan repair is used to univentricular repairs diverting systemic venous blood flow to the pulmonary artery.
