MUSC Health Heart & Vascular Center is proud to lead the way in advancing care for tricuspid regurgitation patients. Dr. Nicholas Amoroso and Dr. Nicolas Pope performed the first U.S. implantation of the Topaz System, a new transcatheter valve replacement device, as part of an early feasibility study.

Dr. T.R. Muralidharan discusses the advanced CRT-P pacemaker, explaining how this next-level cardiac resynchronization therapy helps treat heart failure and irregular heart rhythms by synchronizing the heart's lower chambers for improved blood flow.

Contrast-blood level in the intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) or hepatic veins on contrast-enhanced CT (often seen on arterial phase) is important to recognize as it has dismal prognosis and requires immediate attention. The causes include cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest and cardiac tamponade. When this sign is detected, the patient requires immediate attention, with resuscitation initiated as needed, and the referring clinician alerted as soon as possible. —on-call tips

In complex cardiac catheterization procedures, the earlier you know about a problem, the quicker it is to resolve. See how an EtCO2 monitor can enhance early warning and response times. #MedtronicEmployee https://bit.ly/4bNOIa1

Reducing the risk of stroke with advanced cardiac care! 🫀✨ Procedures like left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) seal off a small pouch in the heart where blood clots can form, significantly lowering stroke risks for patients with atrial fibrillation. It's innovation like this that bridges medicine and technology for a healthier tomorrow. #BiomedicalEngineering #StrokePrevention #HeartHealth #InnovationInMedicine #CardiacCare #AtrialFibrillation #MedicalTechnology #FutureOfHealthcare

Exciting to see how lung ultrasounds in prehospital settings are transforming emergency care by enabling quicker, more accurate diagnoses—paving the way for AI-driven advancements in critical patient management. 🚀 #ultrasound #remotehealthcare #AI

A thought about indexing cardiac chamber volume to BSA rather than to height. Obese patients have lower indexed chamber volumes quite simply because the denominator is larger. Should indexing therefore be done using ideal body weight (IBW) instead? An example: An obese patient with a raised BNP and normal EF is on ITU in pulmonary oedema. The LA indexed volume is 33 ml / m2 therefore reported as not dilated. The LA is visibly larger than the LV cavity and indexed to IBW the volume is 43ml/m2. Should we use IBW rather than actual body weight for indexing cardiac chambers?

Every three seconds, someone somewhere in the world is affected by a stroke, and according to the World Stroke Organization, 101 million people are living with the aftermath of a stroke. For an optimized stroke treatment and a good patient outcome, time is of the essence. Healthcare practitioners aim to set up the ideal pathway for fast diagnosis and treatment of their patients. A well-coordinated treatment pathway is essential for optimal care and prevention to reduce the recurrence rate. Imaging technologies assist in a wide range of stroke scenarios identifying conditions such as blood clots, carotid plaques or a vessel ruptures, while our ARTIS icono therapy device plays a key role in supporting the continuum of care through endovascular treatment. Explore our integrated stroke solutions to see how to streamline a stroke workflow to overcome possible constraints. 🎥 Watch our informative video now! https://lnkd.in/e_-JVmf4 #StrokeCare #HealthcareInnovation #SiemensHealthineers
