    Port hospital expansion secured with $110 million Port Macquarie News The funding means more beds, more services and a catheterisation laboratory – or cath lab – for heart patients. Also included in the funding are 30 more beds for inpatients, 12 more surgical beds, and expanded critical care and emergency units.

    Why does the physician sometimes use 2 catheters to evaluate a valve, and why sometimes only 1? – Anonymous RCIS Review participant For a more detailed explanation of valve interrogations, please refer to articles written in April ( http://tinyurl.com/CLDApril08 ), May ( http://tinyurl.com/CLDMay08 ) and June ( http://tinyurl.com/CLDJune08 ) of 2008. This article will give a brief answer to the question, and our three 2008 articles can give you more details on this subject.

    ABSTRACT: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) frequently cause considerable morbidity and mortality with a high risk of further events within the following year, despite the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Numerous studies have described the concept of acute, partial or complete thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery, which occurs at the site of a friable atherosclerotic plaque with a lipid-rich necrotic core and a ruptured overlying thin fibrous cap (“culprit lesion”).

    Mitral regurgitation (MR), a common valvular disorder, is a heterogeneous condition that can be broadly categorized into primary (affecting the valve apparatus) or secondary (functional) etiologies. For appropriately selected patients, surgical mitral valve repair, when possible, is the preferred strategy over mitral valve replacement. 1 The evidence for device/surgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation is less well established for patients with severe heart failure and conveys increased operative risk

    ABSTRACT: Background. The coronary sinus (CS) travels in close proximity to the left circumflex (LCX) artery. Percutaneously placed CS devices used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) therefore have the potential to impinge upon the LCX arterial distribution and compromise coronary flow
