Ventricular pressure volume loop : An animated fusion Image
Ventricular pressure volume loop is an Important ( often feared !) concept to learn for cardiology fellows . . . I would say , It is not that hard to understand !
These loops tell us the secret hemodynamic story of a 300 gram “mass of muscle” called the heart and how It handles about 100 ml of blood every beat and successfully ejects around 70 ml into Aorta and Pulmonary artery *
While doing this life sustaining job , It would seem the heart muscle conducts a perfect, non stop, hemodynamic orchestra with 4 electro-mechanically coupled phases which is depicted as classical ventricular pressure volume lo...

The greatest gift a physician can receive
Yesterday I looked in the eyes of a mother and told her that her son was likely to die in the next six months, and I had no more ways to try to make his heart stronger. Her son is 36 years old, and a father of two boys. He was on the bed beside her chair, covering his eyes, as if what lies before him was just too much for him to bear.
She asked me, “Why can’t he have a transplant?”
This question haunts me.

Myocardial viability assessment
The term viable myocardium is applied to myocardium with a potentially reversible contractile dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. It can be divided into stunned myocardium and hibernating myocardium. Stunned myocardium has prolonged contractile dysfunction after a transient ischemic episode and coronary reperfusion. This automatically recovers over a period of time. Stunned myocardium is commonly noted after thrombolysis and primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Hibernating myocardium has reduced contractile function due to persistently impaired coronary blood flow. Hibernating myocardium regai...

“Mouths full of gold.” Private practice in Britain’s National Health System
By SAURABH JHA, MD
When Aneurin Bevan was asked how he convinced doctors to come on board the National Health Service (NHS) he allegedly replied, “I stuffed their mouths full of gold.” Bevan recognized that to conscript doctors to the largest socialist experiment in healthcare in the world he had to appeal not so much to their morals, but pockets.
There is much piety about the NHS. It is the envy of the world, though oddly Saudi oil barons still favor Cleveland Clinic and Texas Heart Institute over quaint little hospitals in rural Scotland. The NHS featured in Britain’s 2012 Olympic parade along with Mr. Bean and the...
