Microbubble Enhanced Echocardiography in Current Cardiology Practice

Current practice Antiplatelet use in interventional cardiology

Thrombosis within the target vessel is one of the most feared complications associated with coronary intervention, as it is often associated with severe adverse clinical sequelae. This thrombosis is mediated via the activation and aggregation of platelets and therefore considerable eVort has been directed at ways of inhibiting platelet function. It is now mandatory to consider the use of two an...

Ionizing radiation exposure in interventional cardiology: current radiation protection practice of invasive cardiology operators in Lithuania

Ionizing radiation management is among the most important safety issues in interventional cardiology. Multiple radiation protection measures allow the minimization of x-ray exposure during interventional procedures. Our purpose was to assess the utilization and effectiveness of radiation protection and optim ization techniques among interventional cardiologists in Lithuania. Interventional card...
