What is Cardiology

Technorati Tokken NO: QQ35WPBP2ZAD




Cardiology is a medical term dealing with disorders of the heart. The field includes diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians specializing in this field of medicine are called cardiologists. Cardiologists should not be confused with cardiac surgeons, cardiothoracic and cardiovascular, who are surgeons who perform cardiac surgery via sternotomy - open operative procedures on the heart and great vessels.

=are primitive cells
=can renew themselves
=can develop into different cell types
=have the potential to become more differentiated cells

Embryonic stem cells

Cardiac CTCalcium



Taylor et al – PACC Study – JACC 2005




-2000 patients, mean age 43
-Coronary calcium was associated with an 11.8-fold increased risk for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) (p  0.002) in a Cox model controlling for the Framingham risk score.
-In young, asymptomatic men, the presence of coronary artery calcification provides substantial,
cost-effective, independent prognostic value in predicting incident CHD that is incremental to measured coronary risk factors.
