Early mobilisation after coronary angiography to reduce back pain
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease accounts for over 25,000 inpatient admissions and nearly 4,000 day-case admissions in New Zealand per year (Hay, 2004). Cardiac catheterization, via the femoral artery, is a common procedure undertaken to assess for and treat coronary heart disease (Chair, Li and …

Detection and prediction of cardiac quiescence for computed tomography coronary angiography
… reduce the radiation dose of computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) imaging by developing gating techniques based on signals derived from cardiac motion, rather than the currently used electrocardiogram (ECG), to more reliably trigger data acquisition during periods of cardiac quiescence. …

Improving Cardiovascular Risk Assessment with CT Coronary Angiography and Myocardial CT Perfusion
Accurate assessments of coronary atherosclerosis, calcification and myocardial perfusion are necessary to determine future cardiovascular risk in various clinical settings. CT coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) are promising techniques for the assessment of these factors. …

Predicting Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography for Stable Angina
… the pre-test probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients presenting with chest pain is key in determining the next steps in management. The Diamond-Forrester model, or an updated version, are currently recommended to calculate a patient’s pre-test probability of …

Diagnostischer Wert der 64-Zeilen-Mehrschichtspiral-Computertomographie des Herzens bei symptomatischen Patienten
… multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography has shown high levels of sensitivity and especially negative predictive value regarding the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) especially in patients with a low pre-test probability. This study was designed to determine the value …

Optimizing registration of complex vascular geometries
Advances in imaging, such as coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography, can improve procedural success and outcomes for endovascular catheter intervention, such as stent implantation. Yet, these imaging modalities are not universally embraced; and thus, …

Usefulness of Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessment in Patients with Angina
… epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome (MS), and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis. BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of EAT for CAD, which has been observed during transthoracic echocardiography, has …

Aspects of Abnormal Glucose Regulation in Various Manifestations of Coronary Artery Disease
Background Diabetes is common among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with an approximate doubling of the mortality risk in this patient population. Prediabetes, an intermediate glycometabolic state between normal and diabetic glucose homeostasis, is also prevalent in …

The fight against time in prehospital cardiac arrest - a true medical emergency
… and feasibility of a direct pathway to immediate coronary angiography after OHCA and its outcome. Patients were screened in the field by ambulance crews and referred to the catheterisation laboratory after consultation with the interventionalist. Study III examines the effect of a basic manoeuvre …

Cardiac Co-morbidities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a frequent co-morbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in COPD. Therefore, this study was performed to identify the prognostic factors associated with the CAD in COPD and …
