Imaging has played an instrumental role in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Arterial Doppler ultrasound, echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging tests and angiography are now part of everyday clinical practice and represent a cornerstone of atherosclerosis management.1 During the past two decades, there has been an expansion of the available imaging… View more

The heart requires a high rate of oxygen uptake to maintain mechanical function in order to provide sufficient energy to balance the requirement of the mechanical function. Oxygen consumption increases in almost direct ratio to the increased workload; when the oxygen supply is inadequate for the demand, reversible or irreversible metabolic changes may occur. Such an imbalance is most often… View more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important non-invasive imaging modality in the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases because of advances in scanner hardware, coil technology, parallel-imaging techniques and MRI sequences, all of which facilitate the rapid acquisition of high-quality images. Several scientific studies validated the use of MRI in cardiovascular diseases and showed… View more

Functional mitral regurgitation is a regurgitation that occurs despite a structurally normal mitral valve as a consequence of left ventricular dysfunction. It is a common feature of both dilated and ischaemic cardiomyopathy, and the presence and degree of severity of mitral regurgitation is associated with an increased risk of death and congestive heart failure.1–3 Mechanisms leading to… View more

Since the initial description that in the majority of patients paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is triggered by pulmonary vein (PV) ectopy,1 catheter ablation of AF has gone from a niche procedure to a common one, with approximately 20,000 ablations performed per year in the US alone. However, AF ablation remains a technically difficult procedure, requires long training to become proficient,2… View more
