LV filling pressures obtained by cardiac catheterization show good correlation with the ratio of the mitral inflow E velocity to DTI-derived mitral annular wave (E/e′).51 E/e′ (lateral) ≥12 and E/e′ (septal) ≥15 are correlated with elevated LV early diastolic pressure, and E/e′ ...
The first demonstration of a beneficial effect from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was provided by Cazeau et al who, in 1994, treated a 54 year old heart failure patient with four-chamber pacing [1]. Subsequently, acute hemodynamic studies showed that CRT improves cardiac output [2,3]...
Annual re-catheterization studies showed normal left ventricular ejection fraction. No signs of coronary artery disease were observed, nor any progression of pre-existing muscular dystrophy, at the time of the study. In the following decade (2001–2010), there were 25 cases of cardiac ...

At 21 years of age, he developed intermittent urinary retention requiring occasional catheterization for relief. This is believed to be more likely due to the progression of his neurologic symptoms since it does not correlate with the initiation or change in dosage of his medications or treatment ...
risk difference, 1.8% [95% confidence interval, 0.93–2.6%]). Severe complications occurred more frequently in the general anesthesia group than in the sedation group. Further research on anesthetic methods is necessary to assess the safety and accuracy of pediatric diagnostic cardiac catheterization....
The major approaches for CHD surgeries include open heart surgery (allows the surgeon to repair the heart), catheterization (expands narrowed heart arteries), and balloon valvuloplasty (a specific balloon-medicated catheterization). (2) Secondly, medications, which can only help regulate blood flow ...
