avicenna (980 – 1037 ad) known as the prince of physicians in the west was one of the most prominent persian thinkers, philosophers, and physicians. owing to his interests in cardiology, he authored considerable works on different aspects of cardiology. “resaley-e-ragshenasi” (book on pulsology) and”kitab al-adviyt- ol-qalbiye” (the book on drugs for cardiovascular diseases) are avicenna’s grea...

Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...

Abstract Aims The implementation of the 2013 European Society Cardiology (ESC) Core Curriculum guidelines for acute cardiovascular care (acc) training among countries is unknown. We aimed to evaluate current status acc cardiology trainees and young cardiologists (<40 years) from ESC countries. Methods results survey (March–July 2019) asked about details training, self-confidence in techn...

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to web-based learning although the advantages of computer-aided instruction over traditional teaching formats still need to be confirmed. This study examined whether participation in an online module on the differential diagnosis of dyspnoea impacts on student performance in a multiple choice examination of factual knowledge in cardiology and ...

Changes in medical practice that limit instruction time and patient availability, the expanding options for diagnosis and management, and advances in technology are contributing to greater use of simulation technology in medical education. Four areas of high-technology simulations currently being used are laparoscopic techniques, which provide surgeons with an opportunity to enhance their motor...

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has established its role for diagnosis and management in cardiology and is used by various other specialities in medicine, but it is not routinely practised by anaesthesiologists in the perioperative period including the pre-admission clinic/outpatient clinic. The last decade has seen the emerging role of anaesthesiologist as a 'Perioperative physician'. Thi...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of four-time inflation of the stent balloon at nominal pressure on optimal stent expansion in resistant lesions. materials and methods: this interventional study was conducted on 39 patients with coronary artery lesions, in whom zotarolimus-eluting stents (n=20), paclitaxel-eluting stents (n=11) and other stents (n=8) were deployed four tim...

background: the number of interventional cardiology procedures performed has increased rapidly over the past years. while these procedures help physicians avoid using highly complicated invasive methods, it usually leads to high levels of exposure to ionizing radiation of both patients and cardiologist. the dose received by the cardiologist during interventional cardiology procedures is determi...
