“Cardiovascular Imaging” Special Issue on “Cardiovascular Imaging” Aims and Scope Journal of Clinical Trials in Cardiology is a peer reviewed open access journal, exclusively designed for the international Scientific community that addresses ongoing research on Clinical Trials in Cardiology, which aims to provide a unique platform for publishing high quality research work. The journal aims to frame up an outstanding special issue on Cardiovascular Imaging. Cardiovascular Imaging uses the most sophisticated technology offered to capture images of the heart. These different techniques allow physician to make accurate diagnoses and determine the best treatment for each patient. Obtaining and interpreting images of the heart are critical to the successful management of any cardiac disorder. The objective of the special issue is to integrate the growing international community of researchers working on the topics like Coronary Catheterization, Echocardiogram, Intravascular Ultrasound, Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography Angiography. Topics This special issue deals with the topics of the following but not limited to Coronary Catheterization Echocardiogram Intravascular Ultrasound Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography Angiography Magnetic Resonance Imaging Chest X-Rays Angiography Intravascular Ultrasonography Endomyocardial Biopsy Spectral Doppler Echocardiography Color Doppler Echocardiography Tissue Doppler Imaging Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Stress Echocardiography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Cardiac Ventriculography Phonocardiogram Ballistocardiography Cardiotocography Submissions Authors are invited to submit articles which address the progress and current standing of Cardiovascular Imaging.

However, this technique may carry major complications. We present the diagnostic and safety results of our experience in EMB in the non-trans- plant setting. We also present the results after the implementation of a technical and safety protocol developed at our center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of all EMBs conducted in non-transplant patients from September 2004 through July 2018. We compared the diagnostic yield and rate of major complications of EMB in two different periods: before and after implementing the protocol. Results: We included 204 EMBs performed in 190 patients. The most frequent indications were the evaluation of ventricular dys- function or suspected myocarditis (51.5%) and the evaluation of restrictive cardiomyopathy or suspected infiltrative disease (44.6%). One hundred and seventy-two EMBs were performed in the right cardiac chambers (84.3%) and 30 EMBs in the left cardiac chambers (14.7%).

  • Trends of Increasing Medical Radiation Exposure in a Population Hospitalized for Cardiovascular Disease (1970–2009)
    Trends of Increasing Medical Radiation Exposure in a Population Hospitalized for Cardiovascular Disease (1970–2009) Clara Carpeggiani*, Patrizia Landi, Claudio Michelassi, Paolo Marraccini, Eugenio Picano CNR, Institute of Clinical Physiology, Pisa, Italy Abstract Background: High radiation doses employed in cardiac imaging may increase cancer frequency in exposed patients after decades. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative trends in medical radiation exposure in a population hospitalized for cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results: An observational single-center study was conducted to examine 16,431 consecutive patients with heart disease admitted to the Italian National Research Council Institute of Clinical Physiology between January 1970 and December 2009. In all patients, the cumulative estimated effective dose was obtained from data mining of electronic records of hospital admissions, adopting the effective dose typical values of the American Heart Association 2009 statement and Mettler’s 2008 catalog of doses. Cumulative estimated effective dose per patient in the last 5 years was 22 (12–42) mSv (median, 25th–75th percentiles), with higher values in ischemic heart disease (IHD), 37 (20–59) vs non-IHD, 13 (8–22) mSv, p,0.001. Trends in radiation exposure showed a steady increase in IHD and a flat trend in non-IHD patients, with variation from 1970–74 to 2005–2009 of +155% for IHD (p,0.001) and 21% in non-IHD (NS). The relative contribution of different imaging techniques was remodeled over time, with nuclear cardiology dominating in 1970s (23% of individual exposure) and invasive fluoroscopy in the last decade (90% of individual exposure). Conclusion: A progressive increase in cumulative estimated effective dose is observed in hospitalized IHD patients.

    Billing and Coding Guidelines LCD Database ID Number L30719 LCD Title Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Angiography Contractor's Determination Number CV-006 Coding Information General 1. List the appropriate CPT cardiac catheterization code/combination that most clearly describes the service(s) performed. 2. List the appropriate ICD-9 code describing the condition/diagnosis of the patient that is the reason for the right, left, or combined right/left catheterization service(s). 3. Cardiac catheterization codes 93452-93461 include contrast injections, image supervision, interpretation and report for imaging typically performed during these procedures. 4. When injections procedures for right atrial, aortic or pulmonary angiography are performed in conjunction with cardiac catheterization these services (93566-93568) are reported in addition to the appropriate catheterization code. 5. Services considered included in cardiac catheterization/angiography procedures (93452-93461) are as follows, when indicated: a. Local anesthesia and/or sedation b. Introduction, positioning, and repositioning of catheters c. Recording of intracardiac and intravascular pressures d. Obtaining blood samples for blood gases e. Cardiac output measurements f. Monitoring services, e.g., ECCS, arterial pressures, oxygen saturation g. Vascular catheter and line removal h. Final Evaluation i. Written Report 6. Swan Ganz Placement (93503). When a catheter is placed in the right heart for medically necessary monitoring purposes, the code 93503 must be reported. The codes describing a right heart catheterization (e.g., 93451) are used only for medically necessary diagnostic procedures. Do not report code 93503 in conjunction with other diagnostic cardiac catheterization codes. The code 93503 includes: a. Anesthesia or sedation. b. The insertion of the flow-directed catheter.

Saraiva, V. Matos, L. Gonçalves, M. Antunes, and L.A. Providência ABSTRACT Background. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) remains the gold standard for the diagno- sis of graft rejection after heart transplantation (HT). Our purpose was to evaluate the rate of complications of this invasive procedure. Methods. This was a retrospective study of 175 patients, who were transplanted between November 2003 and October 2010 and survived more than 1 month after surgery. We evaluated the number of inconclusive EMB and described the incidence, nature, and subsequent management of several complications associated with this procedure. Results. Over a period of approximately 7 years, we performed 2217 EMB yielding 4972 specimens, namely, an average of 2.3 fragments per procedure. The majority of EMBs (95.3%) were performed by the femoral approach. Only 12 EMB (0.57%) were inconclu- sive. The overall complication rate was 0.71%. During puncture, one patient experienced a vasovagal reaction and another one, a femoral artery false aneurysm. During the biopsy, there was one case of cardiac perforation with tamponade, two cases of supraventricular tachycardia, and three atrioventricular conduction abnormalities. In 19 patients, histolog- ical analysis revealed chordal tissue, but only two patients developed mild tricuspid regurgitation. We observed five cases of coronary artery fistulae. The clinical outcomes were favorable in all cases. Conclusion. EMB proved to be a suitable, safe method to monitor rejection after HT.
