Clinical and classic echocardiographic features of patients with, and without, left ventricle reverse remodeling following the introduction of cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Background: The aim of the study was to assess clinical and classic echocardiographic data in patients with different cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes. Methods: Sixty consecutive patients (aged 66.3 ± 8.7...

Dual antiplatelet therapy and antithrombotic treatment: Recommendations and controversies.

Dual antiplatelet therapy is currently recommended for all patients with acute coronary syndromes, independent of whether they receive pharmacological treatment or undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. Antiplatelet...

Right coronary artery compression caused by mediastinal hematoma after aortic dissection operation.

Radial artery cardiac catheterization: changing the convincing data/work to change (CD/WC) ratio.

Quality of visualization of coronary venous system in 64-slice computed tomography.

Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) can be used to visualize the anatomy of the coronary venous system (CVS). A pre-procedural evaluation of target veins is a very important element of cardiac resynchronization. Thus,...
