Progressive thickening of the aortic valve leaflets and narrowing of the aortic annulus leads to increased mechanical stress on the left ventricle and reduces cardiac output, resulting in further complications.1–3 The proportion of the population affected increases as the median age of a country or region rises. Approximately 2–4 % of people aged over 65 will develop calcific aortic stenosis,…

The endothelium, which was initially considered to be a semipermeable barrier separating lumen from vessel wall, is now recognised as a complex endocrine organ responsible for a variety of physiological processes vital for vascular homeostasis. These include the regulation of vascular tone, luminal diameter and blood flow; haemostasis and thrombolysis; platelet and leucocyte vessel-wall…

Coronary stenting is a percutaneous procedure intended to regain coronary artery patency overcoming the major limitations of balloon angioplasty: acute recoil and negative vessel remodelling.1–3 The first contemporary balloon-expandable stent was the Palmaz, immediately followed by an articulated variant known as the Palmaz-Schatz, the first stent to be tested in large multicentre trials (the…

The application of nuclear medicine techniques to cardiology is based on the identification of the functional consequences of coronary stenoses, i.e. of myocardial ischaemia. In nuclear cardiology, the evaluation of myocardial perfusion with single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) is the most commonly performed procedure. The SPECT study is currently performed with electrocardiogram …
