Head - Heart

"Head and heart: how research must go hand in hand" It’s tempting to see problems with the heart and head as completely separate. We even talk about them as separate entities when making decisions — do you go with your head or your heart? But the truth is, what goes on in your heart really matters for your head. People who have coronary heart disease, or who have had a heart attack, are twice as likely to have a stroke as those who haven’t — and people with atrial fibrillation (one of the most common forms of abnormal heart rhythm) are five times more likely to have a stroke. #Cardiology #Heart #Head #HeartCongress #heartdiseases #interventionalcardiology #CardiacSurgery #cardiologyconferences #oncology #Cardiologymeetings #HeartConferences #cardiooncology #cardiovasculardiseases #medicalconferences #medevents #Cardiology2019 #January2019 #Dubai #UAE

3D echocardiography: benefits and steps to wider implementation-British Journal of Cardiology

Authors:  Kevin Cheng, Mark J Monaghan, Antoinette Kenny, Bushra Rana, Rick Steeds, Claire Mackay, DeWet van der Westhuizen Advancements in computer and transducer technologies over the past two decades have allowed the development of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography (3DE), which offers significant additional clinical information to traditional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography (2DE). However, the majority of departmental studies today remain 2D, and adoption of 3DE as a complementary tool into mainstream clinical practice has not been without its difficulties. Although cardiologists have a range of alternative imaging modalities at their disposal to investigate cardiovascular structure and function, given the pace of technological innovation and improvements in data analysis, the field of 3DE is one of great expectation and is likely to be of increasing clinical importance. In this review, we discuss the role of 3DE, its advantages and limitations, and how novel tec...

The effect of EECP on functional exercise capacity and symptom burden in refractory angina-British Journal of Cardiology

Authors:  Noman Ali, Haqeel A Jamil, Mohammad Waleed, Osama Raheem, Peysh Patel, Paul Sainsbury, Christopher Morley Refractory angina (RA) is characterized by persistent anginal symptoms despite optimal medical therapy and revascularization. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a technique that has shown promise in the treatment of this condition but is poorly utilized in the UK. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of EECP on anginal symptoms in patients with RA from a UK center. This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of EECP at improving exercise capacity, anginal symptom burden and anginal episode frequency using pre- and post-treatment six-minute walk test (6MWT) results, Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) scores, and symptom questionnaires, respectively. Fifty patients with a median age of 67 years (interquartile range [IQR] 14) underwent EECP between 2004 and 2015. The majority had undergone prior revascularization (84%; 42/50) via per...
