Radiation Dose and Cancer Risk of Cardiac Electrophysiology Procedures
Electrophysiology study (EPS) and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) are widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. EPS and RFCA are very complicated procedures, requiring extended periods of time and advanced technologies that vary according to the disease of the patients. Fluoroscopy is used during EPS and RFCA to guide the catheter through the vessels while view...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Electrophysiology
Noninvasive imaging of cardiac electrophysiology is still a major goal despite all recent technical innovations. This review gives an overview about the historical background, recent developments and possible future applications of noninvasive imaging of cardiac electrophysiology.
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
متن کاملMultislice CT angiography in cardiac imaging. Part III: radiation risk and dose reduction.
With the introduction of 64- or more-slice computed tomography (CT) technology, multislice CT angiography has been increasingly used as a non-invasive modality for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Despite its potential advantages and promising clinical results, multislice CT angiography suffers from high radiation dose which contributes to radiation-induced malignancy in patients under...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Electrophysiology (NICE)
Computer modeling of bioelectric activity has been of interest in cardiac electrophysiology for several decades (Gulrajani R. M., 1988; Johnson J. R., 1997; Modre R. et al., 2001). Additionally, noninvasive imaging of the electrical excitation from recorded electrocardiograms (ECGs) has become a diagnosis tool in clinical electrophysiology (Modre R. et al., 2003; Ramanathan C. et al., 2004). No...
