Induced cardiovascular procedural costs and resource consumption patterns after coronary artery calcium screening: results from the EISNER (Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research) study.

27 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: We prospectively evaluated procedural costs and resource consumption patterns in the EISNER (Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research) study after coronary calcium (CAC) measurements. ... Read more...

Coronary angiography: the need for improvement and the barriers to adoption of new technology.

30 Jul 2009 Traditional coronary angiography presents a variety of limitations related to image acquisition, content, interpretation, and patient safety. These limitations were first apparent with coronary angiography used as a diagnostic tool and have been ... Read more...

Evidence-based care for patients undergoing coronary angiography.

29 Jun 2009 Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in the United Kingdom, accounting for approximately 94,000 deaths per year (Allender et al, 2008). Coronary angiography is currently regarded as the gold standard technique for evaluation of ... Read more...
