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…

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is encountered in approximately 1% of pregnancies, significantly increasing both maternal and foetal risk.1,2 Rheumatic VHD remains the most common form in non-Western countries, whereas congenital heart disease dominates in the Western world.3,4 As increasing numbers of women with congenital heart disease are reaching childbearing age, the prevalence of women of…

In the clinical management of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD), accurate 3D evaluation of their morphological conditions is critical. 3D imaging should demonstrate the shape and spatial relation of great arteries, proximal branch pulmonary arteries and anomalous pulmonary venous or systemic connections, and eventually coronary artery course. 3D information on extra-cardiac…

Percutaneous catheter-based structural heart disease procedures are a rapidly growing area of interventional cardiology, and represent a valuable option for cardiac patients with comorbidities who are ineligible for conventional surgery as well as demonstrating excellent outcomes.1,2 Catheter-based interventions include transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI),3 percutaneous mitral valve …

Percutaneous revascularisation has become the cornerstone of ischaemic heart disease management.1,2 Historically, coronary angiography and intervention was predominantly performed via the common femoral artery.3 However, this procedure has an associated 1.5–9.0 % risk of complications, most of which are related to bleeding at the femoral access site.4 Despite a significant reduction in the…

In vivo visualisation of the coronary arteries was first introduced by de Mason Sones in the 1950s. Selective invasive coronary angiography (CA) has significantly increased our understanding and management of coronary atherosclerosis and has precisely delineated coronary stenoses, which was a prerequisite for the development of coronary revascularisation techniques. However, it was almost 10…
