In the present report, we sought to establish a novel standardized quantitative classification for the quality of coronary angiography, taking into consideration two main parameters: coronary contrast filling and coronary sinus contrast reflux. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  OBJECTIVE: Aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of coronary artery anomalies in children with congenital heart disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Different types of CT scans are employed for the diagnosis of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart disease and these include: Calcium-score screening heart scan Coronary CT angiography [animedicalgroup.com]

  The same I.V. may be used to give a safe medication (commonly used by patients with high blood pressure and heart disease) to slow or stabilize the heart rate for better imaging results. [imagingcenteratcarlstadt.com]

The principal indications for referral were: pre-transplant workup (73%) and chest pain work up (19%). In the pre-transplant assessment group (n = 19), 10 CCTAs showed no/ mild disease, 3 were non-diagnostic, 6 showed obstructive disease. [anzsnasm.com]

In this case report, we aimed to share gradual transition from endovascular methods to surgery and why surgical treatment is required for a patient who developed arteriovenous fistula after coronary angiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A recent multicenter retrospective analysis of sequential treatment with sorafenib and sunitinib showed that initial treatment with either agent was associated with similar PFS times during first-line treatment (median PFS 8.4 months with sorafenib vs [doi.org]

Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and direct neuronal toxicity are believed to be implicated in the pathophysiology of the syndrome. Symptoms appear soon after contrast administration and resolve completely within 24-48 h. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
