Traditionally, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is performed using a rigid single-tip, point-by-point technique, which is often time consuming and requires a high degree of operator skill.1–8 A significant number of complications may be associated with rigid irrigated-tip catheters, including but not limited to thromboembolism, pulmonary vein stenosis and atrio-oesophageal fistulae.1–3…

In developed countries, the number of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation procedures increases every year. Continuous scientific and technological innovation in the area of AF ablation has broadened the spectrum of therapeutic options for patients with AF, and it is likely to be a contributing factor in making AF ablation a practice no longer restricted to a few operators with greater…

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…

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…

Although 2-D echocardiography (2DE) was a major step forwards for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac structure and function, the diagnosis of complex disorders remained a difficult mental conceptualisation process. In addition, the measurement of left ventricular (LV) volume and function, the most common referral reason for echocardiography, required important geometric assumptions about its…

Progress in 3D echocardiography was slow in the 1980s and 1990s, due mainly to technical reasons. Recently, along with the rapid evolution in probe and computer technologies, 3D echocardiography has grown into a well-developed technique that is able to display images of the heart that contain important new tissue and morphological information. This new technique is simple and rapid and enables…

Goals in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Treatment
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) arises from pathological thickening, obstruction and constriction of the pulmonary arterioles.1 This leads to progressive elevation of pulmonary pressures initially on exertion, then at rest.2 Symptoms present late, often only when the pressures can rise little further and the cardiac output (CO) falls due…
