conclusions this case report underscores the role of fetal echocardiography in the prenatal diagnosis of cardiac disease and illustrates rhabdomyomas in a tuberous sclerosis patient. rhabdomyomas are histologically benign; however, they may cause severe arrhythmia even when they are regressing. case presentation our tuberous sclerosis patient developed arrhythmia unexpectedly while his tumors w...

results the electrophysiology laboratory staff received higher doses of ionizing radiation (17.2 ± 11.9 msv; p < 0.001). there was a significant positive correlation between the years of working experience and effective dose in the lens (p < 0.001). in general, our findings showed that the incidence of lens opacity was 79% (95% ci, 69.9-88.1) in participants with exposure (the case group) and o...

islamic golden age, 9-12 century ad, was the period through which persian scientists and physicians were most influential in improving medical sciences including cardiovascular knowledge. although post-islamic golden age witnessed a number of great persian scholars moving cardiovascular concepts forward, they failed to become as well known as their predecessors. one of these scholars was hakim ...

mitral valve regurgitation (mvr) is a common valvular disease in dogs. hydrokinetic evaluation of the blood flow within the ventricles has become possible by vector flow mapping (vfm), which shows the blood flow within the ventricles in vector and vortex flows. blood flow within the left ventricle of mvr dogs was compared at different stages of mvr and to that of normal dogs. 14 normal dogs and...

methods in this article we checked the derived data from 20 relevant studies published during the last 20 years in international scientific literature at other country except iran and 10 studies from iran. the variables dose-area product (dap), fluoroscopy time, number of sequences and frames per sequence were collected for each ca, ptca, rfa and diagnostic electrophysiology and then the obtain...

Background: Interventional cardiology procedures such as coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) has been increased recent years. The purpose of this study was to measurement of effective dose to cardiology staffs who operate near the patient and are exposed to non-uniform radiation field due to patient scattered radiation. Materials and Methods: This...

avicenna (980 – 1037 ad) known as the prince of physicians in the west was one of the most prominent persian thinkers, philosophers, and physicians. owing to his interests in cardiology, he authored considerable works on different aspects of cardiology. “resaley-e-ragshenasi” (book on pulsology) and”kitab al-adviyt- ol-qalbiye” (the book on drugs for cardiovascular diseases) are avicenna’s grea...

Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...
