The use of antibodies in clinical cardiology

AbstractMonoclonal antibody technology has resulted in an entirely new class of agents, which have been applied to a variety of problems in cardiology and which hold great promise for future diagnostic, as well as therapeutic, applications. The four antibodies, which have been most widely used in clinical cardiology, are Digibind, OKT3, Myoscint, and 7E3. Each demonstrates the unique potential for the use of antibodies in clinical cardiology.

Panic disorder in cardiology patients: A review of the Missouri panic/cardiology project

AbstractThis paper reviews current evidence from several cardiology populations that suggests that panic disorder is prevalent and underdiagnosed. Cardiology patients with atypical angina, and no heart disease have a high likelihood of having panic disorder, as suggested by studies of two separate cardiology populations. That they resemble psychiatric populations with panic is suggested by their positive response to alprazolam. A panic disorder subtype, called non-fear panic disorder also appeared in about one-third of these cardiology panic patients. These patients have most of the panic symptoms but do not report fear during their episodes.

Viewpoint and CommentaryThe Practice of Cardiology and Healthcare Reform

As reimbursement policies and healthcare reform legislation add pressure onto the independent practice of cardiology, many cardiology groups seek refuge in hospital employment. This has implications for healthcare costs and the future of the practice of cardiology, especially in the age of accountable care organizations.

Editorial point of ViewNuclear cardiology in a managed care environment☆

AbstractHealth maintenance organizations (HMO) and nuclear cardiology represent mutual threats and mutual opportunities for each other. On the one hand, nuclear cardiology represents a cost center with HMOs exerting tremendous financial pressure on nuclear cardiology programs. On the other hand, nuclear cardiology can act as a sage gatekeeper to the cardiac catheterization laboratory and help HMOs effectively control the health care of an increasing percentage of the population. Through the process of negotiation, of determining each other's needs, an accommodation can take place between the two. The ability to correlate scan results with coronary angiography provides individual nuclear cardiology programs with the opportunity to demonstrate their accuracy. A Nuclear Cardiology Report Card based on these data can be developed for use, with HMOs creating the opportunity to compete not only on price but also on value. Carved out capitation rates for nuclear cardiology can be estimated on Read more...

The ten advances that have defined modern cardiology

AbstractModern cardiology was born early in the twentieth century. Here I list and review what I believe to be the ten most important advances in the twentieth century in this field. They are as follows: electrocardiography, cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis, cardiac catheterization, cardiovascular surgery, coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary angioplasty, the coronary care unit, the development of new cardiovascular drugs, preventive cardiology, cardiac imaging, and implanted cardiac pacemakers/defibrillators.

ReviewOnco-cardiology: Present and future

Highlights•The term “onco-cardiology” has been used in reference to cardiotoxicity during the treatment of malignant diseases.•We often encounter malignant disease when dealing with CVD patient, it is not uncommon for a patient to struggle with a prior treatment.•The concurrence of arteriosclerotic diseases with malignant diseases should be carefully considered in clinical settings.•It is essential that all medical professionals associated with cancer care understand these associations.

Assessing the cost of a cardiology residency program with a cost construction model☆☆☆★

AbstractBackground Although the total costs of graduate medical education are difficult to quantify, this information is of great importance in planning over the next decade. Methods and Results A cost construction model was used to quantify the costs of teaching faculty, cardiology fellows’ salaries and benefits, overhead (physical plant, equipment, and support staff), and other costs associated with the cardiology residency program at the University of Texas-Houston during the 1996 to 1997 academic year. Surveys of cardiology faculty and fellows, checked by the program director, were conducted to determine the time spent in teaching activities; access to institutional and departmental financial records was obtained to quantify associated costs. The model was then developed and examined for a range of assumptions concerning cardiology fellows’ productivity, replacement costs, and the cost allocation of activities jointly producing clinical care and education. The instructional cos Read more...

Simulation-based training for cardiology procedures: Are we any further forward in evidencing real-world benefits?

AbstractSimulation-based training as an educational tool for healthcare professionals continues to grow in sophistication, scope, and usage. There have been a number of studies demonstrating the utility of the technique, and it is gaining traction as part of the training curricula for the next generation of cardiologists.In this review, we focus on the recent literature for the efficacy of simulation for practical procedures specific to cardiology, focusing on transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, coronary angioplasty, and electrophysiology. A number of studies demonstrated improved performance by those trained using SBT when compared to other methods, although evidence of this leading to an improvement in patient outcomes remains scarce. We discuss this evidence, and the implications for practice for training in cardiology.

Use of extended realities in cardiology

AbstractRecent miniaturization of electronic components and advances in image processing software have facilitated the entry of extended reality technology into clinical practice. In the last several years, the number of applications in cardiology has multiplied, with many promising to become standard of care. We review many of these applications in the areas of patient and physician education, cardiac rehabilitation, pre-procedural planning and intraprocedural use. The rapid integration of these approaches into the many facets of cardiology suggests that they will one day become an every-day part of physician practice.

Letter to the EditorThe top papers by download and citations from the International Journal of Cardiology in 2007

AbstractWe have compared the top 25 papers as assessed by download statistics for papers published during 2007 in the International Journal of Cardiology with the top 25 papers as assessed by citations. There was very little overlap with only three papers being in both lists. This indicates very different criteria for seeking to read as opposed to cite recent scientific publications and calls into question the reliability of commonly sued measures quality and/or impact for papers at the individual publication level.

Medical Malpractice Claims Within Cardiology from 2006 to 2015

With increasing healthcare costs and the high cost of spending driven by “defensive medicine,” shedding light on recent litigation trends is critical for understanding current tort patterns, especially in the field of cardiology, a specialty with higher rates of malpractice suits than average. Understanding the characteristics of these liability claims and common types of patient injuries can aid cardiologists in mitigating malpractice risk and better patient care. Thus, the objective of this study was to characterize current malpractice trends in the field of cardiology and common sources of patient injury. An analysis of malpractice litigation claims from 2006 to 2015 in cardiology was performed on a database of nationwide professional liability insurers, health systems, and community hospitals. Both the total number of claims and annual indemnity payments in cardiology have seen an overall increase from 2006 to 2015. Of the 1,538 claims observed, the leading allegations were imp Read more...
