CABG in 2012: Evidence, practice and the evolution of guidelines
More LessAbstract In the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) it is important to ensure that all patients are receiving optimal medical therapy irrespective of whether any intervention, by stents or surgery, is planned. Furthermore it is important to establish if a proposed intervention is for symptomatic and/or prognostic reasons. The latter can only be justified if there is demonstration of a significant volume of ischaemia (>10% Read More

Primary angioplasty in Europe: From trials to practice
Authors: Carlo Di Mario and Nicola ViceconteAbstract This manuscript is focused around two key messages from the current Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology on ST elevation myocardial infarction; the need to use primary angioplasty whenever timely and effectively applicable and the importance of organisational changes in the emergency system to implement this indication. Based on a review of the trials motivating these guidelines and the successful experienc Read More

Primary coronary angioplasty for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Qatar: First nationwide program
Abstract In this article, we outline the plans, protocols and strategies to set up the first nationwide primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) program for ST-elevation myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in Qatar, as well as the difficulties and the multi-disciplinary solutions that we adopted in preparation. We will also report some of the landmark literature that guided our plans. The guidelines underscore the need for adequate nu Read More

Study exploring depression and cardiovascular diseases amongst Arabic speaking patients living in the State of Qatar: Rationale and methodology
Abstract In Qatar, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death. Studies show that depression is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality among cardiovascular patients. Thus, early detection of, and intervention for, depression among cardiovascular patients can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and save health care costs. To date there is no study in the Gulf region exploring depression among c Read More

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging
Abstract Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics and clinical status in patients with HCM using Vector Velocity Imaging (VVI). Methods: VVI of the LA and LV was acquired from apical four- and two-chamber views of 108 HCM patien Read More

A global perspective of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Authors: Mohamed Elmaghawry, Mohammed Alhashemi, Alessandro Zorzi and Magdi H YacoubAbstract: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a progressive inherited heart disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death especially in the young. ARVC has been traditionally associated with the Mediterranean basin, as many seminal studies on the disease have originated from research groups of this region. Today, however, numerous ARVC registries from all over the world emphasize th Read More

Robotic excision of aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma and concomitant maze procedure
More LessAbstract Cardiothoracic surgeons have utilized the surgical robot to provide a minimally invasive approach to a number of intracardiac operations, including tumor resection, valve repair, and ablation of atrial arrhythmia. We report the case of a 58 year-old woman who was found to have a mobile mass on her aortic valve during evaluation of atrial fibrillation. Both of these conditions were addressed when she underwent a combined rob Read More
