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

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
