Although coronary computed tomographic angiography has the ability to depict potentially malignant features of anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ACAOS), there are limited data on…
Right ventricular (RV) volume overload secondary to pulmonary regurgitation is common in patients after initial repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and is associated with adverse long-term outcomes. The objective…
The prospect of a further reduction of thrombotic end points (stent thrombosis, acute coronary syndromes, ischemic stroke) may seem appealing and encouraging to clinicians, interventional cardiologists in particular. Be that…

Neonatal coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often associated with hypoplastic left-sided cardiac structures. Limited data are available regarding the long-term clinical outcomes. Our purposes were to assess the following…
The provocative study by Stein et al titled “Electrocardiogram in Pneumonia” merits additional clinical commentary. It serves as a reverse review of the investigators’ previous discussions of electrocardiographic (ECG) findings in…
We read the article by Schneer et al studying the correlation of coronary computerized tomography angiography (CTA) with conventional risk scoring systems (Framingham risk score [FRS] and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation…
Physicians performing interventional procedures are chronically exposed to ionizing radiation, which is known to pose increased cancer risks. We recently reported 9 cases of brain cancer in interventional cardiologists. Subsequently,…
The introduction of speckle tracking imaging (STI) allowed the quantification of the regional myocardial function in the right ventricular (RV) free wall using deformation parameters. We sought to evaluate the…
