The field of non-coronary cardiac intervention is undergoing rapid expansion, driven by advances in technology and increasing demand for alternative, non-surgical therapies for common structural heart diseases. As a result, the volume, variety and complexity of percutaneous catheter-based procedures being performed in cardiac catheterisation laboratories are increasing. Traditionally, fluoroscopy… View more

Non-invasive imaging of the heart continues to evolve and improve. Cardiovascular ultrasound (echocardiography) continues to play an important role in the diagnosis and assessment of responses to therapy of many cardiac conditions. Even as the clinical applications of newer techniques such as cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) increase, the role of… View more

Introduction The heart is a dynamic organ and places special demands on three-dimensional (3-D) techniques. To understand its physiology and pathophysiology, not only the spatial distribution of its structures is important but also their movement during the cardiac cycles. Previous approaches to 3-D echocardiography (3-DE) were offline and based on sequential rotational scanning and acquisition… View more

Mitral valve disease is a common disease that requires an accurate evaluation in order to decide when and how the problem should be treated. Realtime three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3-D) is a new technique that allows us to visualise the mitral valvular anatomy in any desired space orientation. This review will focus on two specific subject areas in which our research team has been working:… View more

Interatrial Shunting for Treating Acute and Chronic Left Heart Failure
Author(s): Leonardo Guimaraes , David del Val , Sebastien Bergeron , et al Added: 3 years ago
Major advances in heart failure (HF) management have been achieved over the past three decades, yet it remains a syndrome with high morbidity and mortality, poor quality of life and high healthcare costs. Despite all advances in medical/device therapy, many HF patients continue to deteriorate, leading to poor quality of life and high rehospitalisation and mortality rates.1 The recent European… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Mariëlle GJ Duffels , Eric Boersma , Barbara JM Mulder Added: 3 years ago
Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital malformation and accounts for about eight cases per 1,000 births.1 Due to tremendous developments in cardiac surgery, nearly 90% of all children with congenital heart disease reach adult age. In patients with congenital heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may develop due to increased pulmonary arterial flow as a result of a… View more
