Ischaemic heart disease is the leading single cause of death in the US and elsewhere, and a major health problem worldwide.1 The direct cost of hospitalisations for ischaemic heart disease in the US alone is enormous and amounts to more than US$15 billion. Consequently, it is very important to facilitate more definitive ischaemia evaluation while avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions of non… View more

Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has entered the level of daily clinical practice in many institutions worldwide. All studies previously performed on the diagnostic accuracy of CTCA have shown a high negative predictive value, indicating a high ability of this method to exclude relevant coronary artery disease.1–3 However, CTCA is highly demanding not just of the technology, but… View more

I always had an interest in the sciences so during a gap year between school and university I worked in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Malawi in the labs and trauma outpatient clinic. This fed my enthusiasm to pursue science and was really quite informative… View more
