- Abstract
Background: This survey was conducted to determine the guidelines used by major medical centers in the United States for obtaining hospital privileges to interpret nuclear cardiology studies. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) have established guidelines to help maintain an adequate level of proficiency in the practice of nuclear cardiology. These guidelines were published only recently, and many hospitals have adopted different processes to obtain these privileges. It is likely that a marked difference among institutions exists.Methods and Results: The survey was conducted predominantly by mailings with additional telephone communications if more information was needed. Chiefs of cardiovascular medicine sections were contacted to provide information concerning the policy of granting nuclear cardiology privileges at his or her institution. The responses were tabulated in four categories and the responders were asked to comment on whether they agreed or disagreed with their own university's policy. Of 80 responses (68%) from 121 institutions, cardiologists were involved in reading these studies in 62 (78%) and radiologists were the sole interpreters in 18 (22%). ACC or ASNC guidelines were strictly followed at 48 sites (60%). Eight (10%) and 6 (8%) of these institutions mandated a minimum requirement of, respectively, 12 and 6 months of additional training in nuclear cardiology. Ten (13%) of the cardiologists surveyed disagreed with their own institution's policies, primarily noting that the ACC and ASNC guidelines were more appropriate.Conclusion: The recently established ACC/ASNC guidelines clearly have had an impact on the practice of attaining privileges in nuclear cardiology and are the most commonly quoted criteria used by institutions in the United States to assess competence in nuclear cardiology.

13. The "hurricane sign": evidence of patient motion artifact on cardiac single-photon emission computed tomographic imaging.

- Abstract
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is frequently used with myocardial perfusion imaging in the assessment of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. The susceptibility of SPECT imaging to artifact, especially that caused by patient motion, has long been recognized. We report a characteristic artifact of patient motion, which we have termed the "hurricane sign" because of its similarity to the National Weather Service Symbol for a hurricane. This artifact is caused by varying contributions of different portions of the heart during image acquisition and their misalignment produced by patient motion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services, and perceived psychological stress to health care providers worldwide.METHODS: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the pandemic's onset and 1 year later. Multivariable regression was used to determine factors associated with procedure volume recovery.RESULTS: Surveys were submitted from 669 centers in 107 countries. Worldwide reduction in cardiac procedure volumes of 64% from March 2019 to April 2020 recovered by April 2021 in high- and upper middle-income countries (recovery rates of 108% and 99%) but remained depressed in lower middle- and low-income countries (46% and 30% recovery). Although stress testing was used 12% less frequently in 2021 than in 2019, coronary computed tomographic angiography was used 14% more, a trend also seen for other advanced cardiac imaging modalities (positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance; 22%-25% increases). Pandemic-related psychological stress was estimated to have affected nearly 40% of staff, impacting patient care at 78% of sites. In multivariable regression, only lower-income status and physicians' psychological stress were significant in predicting recovery of cardiac testing.CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac diagnostic testing has yet to recover to prepandemic levels in lower-income countries. Worldwide, the decrease in standard stress testing is offset by greater use of advanced cardiac imaging modalities. Pandemic-related psychological stress among providers is widespread and associated with poor recovery of cardiac testing.

- Abstract
Aims: Cardioversion is a very commonly performed procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is no well-defined protocol to address failed external electrical direct current cardioversion. The aim of the study is to test the efficacy of a pre-defined stepwise cardioversion protocol for patients with persistent AF of ≤12 months. Success was the achievement of sinus rhythm., Methods and Results: The study population included patients with persistent AF of ≤12 months duration requiring rhythm management. Patients were offered cardioversion using a pre-defined stepwise protocol using different electrode placement locations, applying compression at end of expiration, and higher energy delivered simultaneously through two defibrillators. : A total of 414 patients were included in the study, of which 362 (87.4%) required a single successful cardioversion. The remaining 52 (12.5%) patients required additional cardioversion attempts using the stepwise cardioversion protocol with an overall success rate of 99.3%. Two simultaneous defibrillators were required in 14 patients (3.4%). Patients with multiple cardioversions (13.5%) experienced more local skin irritation and pain compared with patients with single cardioversion (13.5% vs. 3.5%, P = 0.004). The predictor for the need for multiple cardioversion attempts is high body mass index, while high transthoracic impedance is associated with failed cardioversion. No major complications were observed during the study., Conclusion: The stepwise cardioversion protocol has a high success rate of >99% and can be safely performed in outpatient or inpatient settings., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: All authors declare that they have no conflict of interest., (© The Author(s) 2023.

- Abstract
Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital cardiac condition that presents in a variety of morphologies. Less commonly, when an individual patient is found to have multiple ventricular septal defects, the term "Swiss cheese ventricular septal defect" is applied. Although not routinely utilized in clinical practice, electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomographic angiography (CTA) has been shown to provide utility in detecting intracardiac shunts, demonstrating promise in preventing acute strokes secondary to a paradoxical embolus from occurring; this is especially important when atypical cardiac septa are suspected. This case seeks to illustrate how usage of ECG-gated CTA can assist in early detection and prevention of adverse outcomes resulting from an atypical presentation of a ventricular septal defect., Competing Interests: Competing interests: We wish to confirm that there are no known conflicts of interest associated with this publication., (© 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in liver transplant patients. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score has been used to evaluate the risk of CAD in non-cirrhotic patients. However, its significance in cirrhotic patients is unknown. This study aimed to identify factors associated with elevated CAC scores in patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing liver transplant evaluation., Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent liver transplantation evaluation and had coronary CT scan between January 2015 and December 2018. Patients with prior history of CAD were excluded. CAC score was calculated based on the method described by Agatston., Results: Sixty-two patients were included. 37.1% had alcohol-related liver disease and 27.4% had NASH cirrhosis. Mean CAC score was 261.1 ± SD, 463.84. Alcohol-related liver disease, male gender, and hypertension were significantly associated with CAC score >100 and only alcohol-related liver disease was associated with CAC score >300. In logistic regression, patients with alcohol-related liver disease had more than sixfold increase in risk of having CAC scores >100 and 300 (OR 6.14, and 6.70, respectively)., Conclusion: Alcohol-related liver disease, male gender, and hypertension were significantly associated with an increased CAC score >100. However, alcohol-related liver disease was the only factor associated with CAC score >300., (© 2021 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Off label use of intraosseous needles (IONs) for contrast media (CM) injection during computed tomographic angiography (CTA) has been reported in small case series and isolated case reports. Presently, complications specific to this novel indication are essentially unknown. In this communication, we report an extravasation of CM from the intramedullary space of the humerus into the glenohumeral joint space during an ION injection of CM during a CTA of the head, neck, and chest. Although clinically insignificant in this case, a more severe intraarticular extravasation could have had both short or long term adverse sequelae. Practitioners of CTA should be aware of this potential complication., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.

- Abstract
Background: The safety of digoxin has been a subject of debate for decades, most recently among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Digoxin has been used during the acute phase of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated with AF or heart failure. Data about digoxin in this setting are scarce., Hypothesis: We hypothesize that digoxin maybe associated with increased mortality when used during the acute phase of ST segment myocardial infarction., Methods: We investigated the association between digoxin and mortality in patients enrolled in the MAGnesium In Coronaries (MAGIC) study, which evaluated the efficacy of early magnesium administration in STEMI. Multiple Cox proportional hazards models were examined to assess the aforementioned association after correction for clinical characteristics and comorbidities., Results: After excluding 639 (10.3%) patients for missing data, we analyzed the remaining 5574 patients. There were 852 (15.3%) deaths during the one month follow-up and 170 (3.0%) patients on digoxin concomitantly, among which 42 patients (24.7%) died. There was a statistically significant association between digoxin and increased mortality in the unadjusted statistical analysis; however, this association disappeared after correction for clinical characteristics and comorbidities in the primary multivariable analysis (estimated hazard ratio [HR] 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62-1.19, p=0.372) and in three additional multivariable analyses., Conclusion: Digoxin use as a new or preexisting medication during the acute phase of STEMI in the MAGIC trial was not associated with a significant increase in mortality after correcting for clinical characteristics and comorbidities., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

- Abstract
Since its introduction in 1982, transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) has become an important diagnostic and monitoring tool and its usefulness has been well established in many clinical applications. In carotid artery stenting (CAS), TCD has mostly been reserved for the optimization of emboli protection devices. Currently, with increasing use of proximal protection systems resembling surgical clamps, TCD has become invaluable in providing the operator an insight into a patient's cerebral hemodynamic status. Additionally, in selected patients, adverse peri- or post-procedural cerebral outcomes may even be predicted allowing the operator to adjust the therapeutic strategy. This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the use of TCD in patients undergoing CAS and suggests potential directions of future research., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)

- Abstract
Background: Pulmonary arterial pressure measurement is an integral part of the pre-heart transplant evaluation. In the clinical arena, the correlation and agreement between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) measured by Doppler echocardiography versus catheterization in pre-heart transplant patients has not been studied., Methods: Data on all patients evaluated for heart transplantation at our program between 2003 and 2005 (n = 176) were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with both transthoracic echocardiography (with interpretable images) and right heart catheterization performed were included (n = 108; mean time difference, 2.2 days; median, 2 days). The tricuspid valve regurgitant jet was identified by color flow Doppler and jet maximum velocity was measured by continuous wave Doppler. The PASP was estimated by using the modified Bernoulli equation and adding right atrial pressure. We correlated echocardiographically estimated PASP with that measured by right heart catheterization., Results: Mean estimated PASP by echocardiography was 46.6 +/- 13.7 mmHg versus 44.8 +/- 17.9 mmHg by right heart catheterization (P = NS). However, the correlation between echocardiographic and measured PASP was poor (r = 0.49, P < .001). The correlation was poor in both ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy., Conclusion: Among patients referred for heart transplant evaluation, there is poor agreement and correlation between echocardiographically estimated PASP and values obtained by right heart catheterization. Furthermore, echocardiographically obtained estimates of PASP should not be exclusively relied upon to exclude heart transplant recipient candidates.

- Abstract
Introduction: Changes due to biventricular pacing have been documented by shortening of QRS duration and echocardiography. Compared to normal ventricular activation, the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) results in a significant change in cardiac cycle time intervals. Some of these have been used to quantify the underlying cardiac dyssynchrony, assess the effects of biventricular pacing, and guide programming of ventricular pacing devices. This study evaluates a simple noninvasive method using accelerometers attached to the skin to measure cardiac time intervals in biventricularly paced patients., Methods: Ten patients with biventricular pacemakers previously implanted for congestive heart failure were paced in the AAI mode, then in atrioventricular (AV) sequential mode from the right and left ventricles followed by biventricular pacing. Simultaneous recordings were obtained by 2D, Doppler echocardiography as well as by accelerometers. Similar recordings were obtained from 10 gender, aged matched, normal controls during sinus rhythm., Results: Compared to normals, heart failure patients paced in AAI mode had prolonged isovolumetric contraction time (IVCT), shorter ventricular ejection time (LVET), and prolonged isovolumetric relaxation (IVRT). With biventricular pacing the IVCT decreased, but the LVET and IVRT did not change significantly. There was excellent correlation between the echo and accelerometer-measured intervals., Conclusions: Shortening of the IVCT measured by an accelerometer is a consistent time interval change due to biventricular pacing that probably reflects more rapid acceleration of left ventricular ejection. The accelerometer may be useful to assess immediate efficacy of biventricular pacing during device implantation and optimize programmable time intervals such as AV and interventricular (VV) delays.

- Abstract
Patients with renal disease often have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD). The 5-year survival rates are < 50% and cardiovascular disease accounts for nearly half of the deaths in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on maintenance dialysis. Renal disease is often caused by hypertension or diabetes mellitus, both very strong risk factors for the development of CAD. Other patients develop hypertension after the onset of their renal disease. These coexistent diseases partially contribute to the increased incidence of CAD in the renal patient. Managing physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion and interpret the results of diagnostic studies with this high pretest probability in mind. Consideration should be given for screening for the presence of ischemic heart disease in patients with ESRD and no symptoms, especially if being considered as renal transplant recipients. It remains most important to adequately treat the associated risk factors and specifically, aggressively control the blood pressure. This report discusses the known and suspected reasons for the highly associated coexistent CAD, methods for diagnosing and risk-stratifying CAD, and renal-specific guidelines for appropriate treatment.

- Abstract
The assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics is an extremely important component of managing patients with cardiac diseases. For years, this has been accomplished primarily through the use of right and left heart catheters placed within the cardiac chambers. Since this is an invasive technique, it should only be used when necessary; patient discomfort, infections, and overall risks for physicians would be reduced if noninvasive methods were utilized when available. Echocardiography (echo) provides the greatest ability to determine cardiovascular hemodynamics noninvasively, but requires the utmost precision and care to avoid misinterpretation. When used correctly, echocardiographic modalities provide an even greater assessment of the cardiac patient than invasive techniques. A safer and more comprehensive interpretation is available, and thus, echo should be considered the modality of choice-the new gold standard.

- Abstract
This article documents the ability of transesophageal echocardiography to provide adequate images and clinically relevant information about the coronary anatomy of the elderly patient. Transesophageal echocardiography is commonly used to assess elderly patients who suffer cerebral vascular accidents. It is important to evaluate not only for the usually suspected causes of a cardiac source of emboli but also for direct and indirect evidence of coronary artery disease--the leading cause of death in the elderly stroke patient. Because atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases identified in one vascular bed are prone to universally involve the other vascular territories to some degree, it is not surprising that the coronary arteries are often stenotic. As a sudden event with catastrophic symptoms, a stroke is commonly the first vascular event the elderly patient experiences. Depending on the degree of recovery, physical limitations may contribute to the lack of symptoms from coexistent peripheral or coronary artery disease. Transesophageal echocardiography may be the first, or only, coronary evaluation for high-risk elderly patients.

- Abstract
Coronary artery imaging is routinely obtained invasively at cardiac catheterization through coronary angiography. This remains the gold standard, but with advances in ultrasound technology, electron beam computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, newer noninvasive methodologies are achieving greater success at imaging the coronary anatomy. This review is meant to highlight the important accomplishments from transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) investigations that have studied the coronary arteries. The specific technique for optimally imaging the coronaries with high frequency transducers, color and conventional Doppler, in addition to contrast-enhanced methods, will be analyzed. Importantly, this article serves as a reminder to echocardiographers and cardiologists that excellent, clinically relevant information of the coronary arteries can be obtained routinely during TEE. This technique is part of the trend noted by the other authors in this special edition; that is, echocardiography is becoming the gold standard of the new millennium for many diagnostic areas, even coronary angiography.

- Abstract
Heart failure is the most common cause of cardiovascular hospitalization in older adults in the United States. This disease is common, disabling, and commonly fatal, especially in the elderly population. Hypertension and coronary artery disease are the leading causes of heart failure. A precise diagnosis of the cardiac abnormality is paramount for adequate treatment, and echocardiography offers the most comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation. With an organized approach using two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography, the systolic and diastolic left ventricular performance can be determined; the cardiac output, pulmonary artery, and ventricular filling pressures can be estimated; and surgically correctable valve disease can be identified. The response and success of treatment also may be monitored by the judicious use of echocardiography.

- Abstract
This brief report presents a patient with fungal endocarditis involving the suture location in the ascending aorta after aortotomy to replace a stenotic aortic valve. It emphasizes the importance of expanding the diagnostic investigation for endocarditis beyond the prosthesis, which was normal in this case. It also reiterates the value of transesophageal echocardiography during the evaluation of prosthetic valves and reminds the echocardiographer to visualize the aortotomy site carefully.

- Abstract
Coronary artery ectasia is the abnormal enlargement of the coronary artery. The prognosis, treatment, and etiology of this disease remain an enigma. There is some evidence to suggest that the incidence of ectasia is increasing, and therefore understanding of this entity needs to improve. This article reviews the current literature on coronary artery ectasia and summarizes the findings. A treatment plan that targets each of the suggested clinical complications is provided. Using multiple indirect observations and current understanding of endothelium-derived relaxation factor, a possible etiology that implicates overstimulation of endogenous nitric oxide is provided. Current literature suggests that ectatic coronary arteries, even without the presence of coronary stenosis, are subject to thrombus formation, vasospasm, and spontaneous dissection. Newer subgroups of ectasia are arising with the use of multiple interventional devices to dilate coronary artery stenosis. By design, these destroy the media of the coronary artery, and it is not clear whether these "iatrogenic" ectatic arteries are subject to the same complications as "idiopathic" coronary artery ectasia. Further investigation is necessary to help define the benefit of the proposed treatment regimen, to clarify the prognosis of these newer groups of "iatrogenic" ectasia, and to confirm or disprove the hypothesis targeting nitric oxide as an etiologic factor.

- Abstract
Since 1974, 70 morbidly obese patients who had failed to respond to conservative management have been treated by gastric surgery. Results of treatment are described. Important developments in the programme included more satisfactory weight loss resulting from standardisation of pouch and stoma size, and a decrease in morbidity resulting from better case selection and the use of the gastric stapler during the bypass procedure.

- Abstract
This article describes the process from conception to implementation of developing a nurse-managed wellness center for senior citizens. The center was established in a federally subsidized high rise residential complex in midtown Manhattan. The unique senior population living in this New York City community includes a large proportion of performing artists. These individuals are struggling to maintain ties to their community at a time when their most productive performing years have passed. A health needs assessment was designed to evaluate whether or not these seniors were interested and would participate in a nurse-managed wellness center. The strategies needed to propose and move the project forward through all systems are explored. Two clinical nurse specialists assessed the need, proposed the center, and guided it through several political systems while maintaining leadership to establish a viable and innovative hospital-based health center based on prevention.

- Abstract
A retrospective survey was carried out on all patients undergoing operations for parenchymal disease of the liver in the Auckland area in the 10 year period 1968--1977. Biopsies were not included. There were 172 patients, the largest group being 118 with hepatic trauma. There were 11 resections for tumour, 25 patients treated surgically for hydatid disease, 15 abscesses and three miscellaneous cysts. Results of operation are presented and the relevant aspects of the diagnostic and treatment policies are discussed.

- Abstract
Failure of conservative methods of control of gross obesity has led to the adoption of surgical measures. The operation of intestinal bypass, may be associated with the number of unpleasant complications. As a result there has been recent interest in the operation of gastric bypass involving an 80 to 90 percent gastric exclusion procedure. We report on the results of our first 19 patients undergoing this operation, a six to 15 month follow-up. The early results would suggest that gastric bypass in the treatment of morbid obesity is likely to prove superior to the various forms of intestinal bypass.
