oct coronary :: Article Creator OCT - Optical Coherence Tomography - The Buzzword In Cardiology The latest in cardiology is OCT, which expands into Optical Coherence Tomography. This breakthrough has made many cardiologists sit up and take notice and is revolutionizing angioplasty. This has been developed by Dr. Brett Bouma an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School who has used optical coherence tomography to gauge stent status. This is a new imaging technique similar to ultrasound and will allow cardiologists to view the status of coronary stents used to open clogged arteries during angioplasty. A more glamorous way of putting it would be to say that this was the procedure that the new American Vice President Dick Cheney underwent. Advertisement During angioplasty, a tiny balloon is inflated inside a mesh tube placed within a blocked artery, gradually opening the vessel. However in about 30 percent of patients tissue often grows ba...

inferior mi coronary artery :: Article Creator Inside A Coronary Bypass Surgery Coronary artery disease, CAD, is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become clogged and narrow, making it difficult for blood and oxygen to reach the muscles of the heart. Coronary bypass surgery is one treatment option to help restore blood flow, when other surgical procedures may not be recommended. While coronary bypass surgery does not cure the underlying cause of CAD, it can alleviate symptoms, like chest pain, fatigue, difficulty breathing, and palpitations. It is done using general anesthesia, so you will be asleep during the entire procedure. Your surgeon will make an incision in your chest to access your heart and will use a machine to take over blood flow while your heart is temporarily stopped. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures are possible, where smaller incisions are used or the heart does not need to be stopp...

coronary artery disease amboss :: Article Creator Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease (CAD; also atherosclerotic heart disease) is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the coronary arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) with oxygen and nutrients. It is sometimes also called coronary heart disease (CHD). Although CAD is the most common cause of CHD, it is not the only one. CAD is the leading cause of death worldwide. While the symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary artery disease show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arises. After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood ...

ban2401 clinical trial :: Article Creator Vaccine For Deadly Skin Cancer Shows 'groundbreaking' Results In Clinical Trial New hope may be on the horizon for melanoma patients in the form of a novel skin cancer vaccine. This week, Moderna announced that its new vaccine has shown promising results in clinical trials. Among 157 patients with advanced melanoma, the vaccine led to "statistically significant improvement in survival before the cancer returned," according to a statement from Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center in New Jersey, which has been participating in the clinical trials. WHY IMMUNOTHERAPY IS EMERGING AS THE 'FOURTH PILLAR' OF CANCER TREATMENTS, EXPERTS SAY In the study, the vaccine was used in combination with Merck's immunotherapy drug, Keytruda. "Keytruda is a checkpoint inhibitor, meaning it blocks an enzyme that the cancer cell uses to become invisible to the immu...

coronary angiogram procedure :: Article Creator Angiography And Stenning - A Breakthrough In The Field Of Vascular Disease Surgery BY Dr Mohan murali Jangamsetty Vascular diseases encompass a spectrum of conditions like atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease and have long posed significant health risks globally. These diseases restrict blood flow, leading to severe complications such as strokes, heart attacks and limb ischemia. Traditionally, diagnosing and treating vascular diseases posed challenges due to limited tools for precise imaging and intervention However, the advent of angiography and stenting has marked a significant breakthrough in managing vascular diseases. Understanding Angiography Angiography, a minimally invasive imaging technique stands as a pivotal diagnostic tool in assessing vascular conditions. Using contrast agents and X-ray imaging, angiography provides detailed insights into the extent and location of vascular issues, ...
