Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants representing a
concern for human health. MNPs have been detected in human placentas, indicating that …

Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has become a widely used therapeutic approach.
However, long-term results in terms of arrhythmia recurrence are still suboptimal. Cardiac …

The paper presents a survey of modern robots for percutaneous coronary interventions. It
covers papers published before October 2024. The robotic systems introduced in these …

Introduction Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a promising alternative to standard x-ray
fluoroscopy for the guidance of cardiac catheterization procedures as it enables soft tissue …

Background Real-time cardiac magnetic resonance generates spatially and temporally
resolved images of cardiac anatomy and function, without the need for contrast agent or X …

Ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies are among the most significant conditions
contributing to the development of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) …

BACKGROUND Induction of general anaesthesia has many potential triggers for peri-
operative myocardial ischaemia including the acute disturbance of blood gases that …

Background Fluoroscopy-guided catheter ablation has become the gold standard for
treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. High resolution electro-anatomical map** systems have …

Right heart catheterization (RHC) plays an important role in the diagnosis and management
