35 Plaque erosion pilot study II (PEPSII): is there an association between circulating endothelial cells and plaque erosion Open
Introduction Plaque erosion accounts for 30-40% of cases associated with a Type 1 MI and appears to have a different pathology compared to plaque rupture but the underlying mechanisms are uncertain. The Plaque Erosion Pilot Study carried o…

Streamline-based three-dimensional peak-velocity tracing of transvalvular flow using four-dimensional flow cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for left ventricular diastolic assessment in aortic regurgitation: a case report Open
Background Doppler transthoracic echocardiography is routinely performed to measure peak mitral inflow velocities in the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. The limitations of echocardiography are well documented, but its ac…

Diagnostic accuracy of handheld cardiac ultrasound device for assessment of left ventricular structure and function: systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Objective Handheld ultrasound devices (HUD) has diagnostic value in the assessment of patients with suspected left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This meta-analysis evaluates the diagnostic ability of HUD compared with transthoracic echocar…

Cardiovascular examination using hand-held cardiac ultrasound Open
Echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality for assessing cardiac function and morphology. The miniaturisation of ultrasound technology has led to the development of hand-held cardiac ultrasound (HCU) devices. The increasing sophis…

74 Day case drug coated balloon only angioplasty for de novo coronary artery disease Open
Introduction The high pressures on hospital beds necessitate fast and efficient, yet safe turn-around of all elective patients ideally as day cases. Although same day discharge in patients receiving a coronary stent is widely supported by …

Day case discharge of patients treated with drug coated balloon only angioplasty for de novo coronary artery disease: A single center experience Open
Objective To report our initial experience with drug coated balloon (DCB) only angioplasty and propose a protocol to achieve this safely. Background There are no articles published in the literature currently regarding the safety of same d…
