Cardiac surgeon is a medical specialty that requires among the longest periods of training. Cardiac surgeons perform procedures such as repairs of congenitalheart defects,valvereplacements, heart transplants, and coronary artery bypass. The designation “cardiothoracic surgeon” indicates a surgeon who focu...
Original research in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is growing most explosively, and the editors of the JACC family of journals have had a front row seat to some of the best papers in this area. We felt it might be useful to bring together our favorite original research papers from variou...
PVC can be diagnosed through physical examination, electrocardiogram (EKG), wearing a Holter monitor, blood test, cardiac stress testing, cardiac MRI or CT scan, coronary angiograms, echocardiograms, and electrophysiology studies. Furthermore, there is no need for treatment for infrequent PVC. Howeve...
These tests may include: • Electrocardiogram (ECG) • E xercise ECG or stress test (measures your heart rhythm while you're engaged in a physical activity) • Holter or event monitor • Insertable cardiac monitor • External loop recorder • Tilt table test ...
a feeling of an extra or skipped heartbeat, while sinus arrhythmia is a type of cardiac arrhythmia that starts at the sinus node of the right atrium, which generally manifests as a faster heart rate (beating faster than 100 beats per minute (bpm) or a slower heart rate (beating slower ...
Cardiac stress test When most of us think about stress, we typically want to reduce the amount we have in our lives. But for cardiac stress tests, stress is a good thing – and it can actually helpimproveyour health and well-being. ...
15-Year-old man's cardiac event monitor showed an episode of wide complex tachycardia which transitioned into narrow complex tachycardia. The tachycardia cycle length was shorter during wide complex tachycardia compared with narrow complex tachycardia. He underwent electrophysiology study in which an ortho...
One of my least favorite maneuvers in electrophysiology is delivering shocks to another human. It makes me grimace. Electricity is rough. I've come to like nuance and less-is-more in my electrophysiology. High-voltage shocks are the opposite. ...
