Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive tool capable of directly visualising the coronary anatomy with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA).1,2 Recent innovations in computed tomography (CT) technology have led to the rapid development of CCTA and its selection as an anatomic… View more

An Introduction to Radiation X-rays, so-called because their nature was at the time unknown, were discovered by the German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, one year before the discovery of ‘natural’ radioactivity by Henri Becquerel.1 X-rays found application in radiography a few years after their discovery, although the first side effect attributed to radiation injury (depilation) had been… View more

Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality and disability for both men and women in Europe, accounting for 1.92 million deaths each year.1 One in five women (22%) and one in five men (21%) die from the disease.1 This significant burden necessitates ongoing improvements in patient management and treatment, to minimise the impact of cardiovascular conditions on both patients… View more

Fast and effective opening of epicardial arteries by thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to restore perfusion to the jeopardised myocardium is considered the cornerstone in the treatment of patients with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) leading to a reduction in morbidity and mortality.1 However, despite successful opening of the coronary artery, myocardial… View more

For more than a decade, studies have sought to address the best treatment strategy for patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), with many suggesting an invasive approach through revascularisation (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] or coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]), and others suggesting a conservative strategy, such as optimal medical therapy (OMT), for this heterogeneous… View more

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and is the leading cause of death in women and men in Western societies.1 Despite the major advances seen in the field of interventional cardiology and pharmacotherapy, which have translated into better outcomes, a disparity is evident in the clinical outcomes between men and women. This was clearly evident in a recent systematic review and… View more

During the past five years, transcatheter (T) aortic valve implantation (AVI) has evolved as one of the most important clinical innovations in cardiovascular disease. The specific merit of TAVI is to allow for minimally invasive treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) in elderly and high-risk patients. Since 2005 retrograde transfemoral (TF) and antegrade transapical (TA) aortic… View more
