Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has found widespread use as an important tool in the cardiologists' armamentarium for several years now, mainly because of superior diagnostic accuracy and ability to perform complete anatomical and functional assessment in a single study without ionising radiation. The following will summarise specific uses of CMR for the interventional cardiologist. … View more

Transforming a critically narrowed coronary vessel to one that is angiographically smooth and unobstructed is immensely satisfying. However, if the procedure is examined in its component parts, it is surprising that this technique is considered safe with minimal overt clinical complications. Temporary vessel occlusion renders the downstream myocardium ischaemic, while vessel trauma initiates… View more

The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and intracerebral, particularly aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a well-known phenomenon. ECG alterations are observed in 50-100% of patients during the acute stage of SAH. Frequently, these effects are clinically not important. Some SAH patients, however, have structural cardiac damage with elevation of creatine kinase… View more

The implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a small device manufactured by Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, which is implanted subcutaneously close to the heart. It has the ability to record the electrical activity of the heart, store rhythm disturbances within set parameters and can be triggered by the patient to store events. The loop recorder is a device with a high diagnostic yield and offers… View more
