New ORBITA Findings May Offer Modest Symptomatic Pain Relief To Interventional Cardiologists
New data presented at EuroPCR from the much debated ORBITA trial may provide some modest temporary lessening of the pain felt by interventional cardiologists in response to the initial negative ORBITA findings. But the pain relief is likely to be only temporary, and might even be fairly compared to a placebo effect, since the major...Click here to continue reading...

Ultrasound lung comets or B lines in pulmonary edema – Cardiology Basics
Ultrasound lung comets or B lines in pulmonary edema – Cardiology Basics Usually air in the lungs does not permit transmission of ultrasound and that is the reason for poor echo window in those with chronic obstructive airways disease. But when the lung is waterlogged in pulmonary edema, certain broad lines extending from the transducer location to the end of the imaging field appear on lung ultrasound. These have been called as B lines or ultrasound lung comets. They move with the lung movement in respiration. B lines are easy to detect with any ultrasound device including pocket devices and conventional echocardiog...

Love and medicine: the journey of a cardiologist ’ s life
An excerpt from Box of Birds: What New Zealand taught me about life and the practice of medicine. While dobutamine improves the strength of heart contractions and can thereby help raise blood pressure, it also has properties that dilate the arteries, which in this patient’s case dropped the blood pressure further. The patient’s blood pressure Read more… Love and medicine: the journey of a cardiologist’s life originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Lesser known heros in cardiology “Dr.Yasumi Uchida” :The Coronary Angioscopist
In the early 1980s , when cardiac physicians were confronting how to tackle intra coronary thrombus , one man from Japan  was  looking directly at the ground zero with fiber-optic coronary angioscope .He  provided live images  of coronary plaques and thrombus (long before the IVUS and OCT era) because of technical difficulties it did not get into  clinical utility  but gave us vital information like plaque morphology and behavior. The concept of red and white thrombus The yellow lipid enriched vulnerable plaques Post lytic  clot surface The fibrin strands within the clot etc. The angioscopes have now given way to...

BLOGSCAN - An Ex-Pharmaceutical Company CEO to Run the American College of Cardiology?
Marilyn Mann's blog discussed the appointment of a former pharmaceutical company executive, most recently at Actelion, and previously at Hoffman La Roche, Abbott Canada, Nordic Labs and Marion Merrill Dow (now known as Aventis), as president of the American College of Cardiology.  Although Mr Jacobovitz, who boasts a bachelor's degree in biology but no obvious experience in direct health care or biomedical science, was touted by the ACC as having "developed a strong patient- and customer-centered corporate strategy," Ms Mann provided documentation that his trajectory at Actelion seemed more money- than patient-centere...

Cardiology Goes Better With Coke
At the bottom of this post I’ve reprinted an email cardiologists are receiving from the American College of Cardiology. See the bottom of the message for the disclosure that Coca Cola is paying for this educational program. I don’t have much to say about this though I wonder what the faculty of this program will say about the role of sugared soda and obesity. I also wonder what position the ACC will take on public health efforts to curb sugar consumption. There’s no reason to be surprised about this. Last year the president of the ACC More…

Should Cardiologists Boycott the 2014 TCT/ACC Conference?
Yesterday, I noticed a tweet from @angioplastyorg announcing that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be this year's keynote speaker at the Transcatheter Therapeutics Conference (TCT) in Washington, DC.  The TCT occurs each year in partnership with the American College of Cardiology.  Most doctors probably won't think much of this, but for many who spend 12 hours or more each day in

When STEMI dressup like NSTEMI. . .cardiologists can easily be fooled !
The ECG changes in ACS are “as dynamic as”  the occluding thrombus.The initial events include  sudden total occlusion, early lysis , trickle of flow, partial re-occlusion , reflow, no-flow etc. The extent of transmural vs sub-endocardial injury, the competing force of re-perfusing and necrotic  wave front, would define  ECG findings making  the ST segment labile in early hours of ACS.This is also the basis of  some cases of  STEMI evolving into NSTEMI and vice versa. A 65 year old man  presented to with this ECG,   Does this ECG allow you to go ahead for thrombolysis ? It actually looks like NSEACS...

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty – Cardiology Basics
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty – Cardiology Basics Balloon aortic valvuloplasty is enlargement of a narrowed aortic valve using balloon catheters. It is also known as balloon aortic valvotomy. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty has significant risks and lesser benefits compared other procedures for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis like surgical valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve implantation or TAVI. Hence it is often considered as a bridge treatment or palliative treatment. Three important scenarios in which balloon aortic valvuloplasty or BAV is considered are: Bridge to decision, bridge to planned treatmen...
