Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart. This is done both for diagnostic and interventional purposes Continue reading →

Alternative Titles:Pteridophyta, cryptogam, pteridophyte, seedless vascular plant, vascular cryptogam Lower vascular plant, formerly pteridophyte, also called vascular cryptogam, any of the spore-bearing vascular plants, including the ferns, club mosses, spike mosses, quillworts, horsetails, and whisk ferns. Once considered of the same evolutionary line, these plants were formerly placed in the single group Pteridophyta and were known as the ferns and fern allies Continue reading →

The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) at Tufts Medical Center in downtown Boston, MA studies the molecular mechanisms of common cardiovascular diseases including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and high blood pressure then translates these discoveries into new clinical strategies for diagnosis and therapy. Our mission also emphasizes training and mentoring physicians and scientists committed to careers in cardiovascular research Continue reading →

Interventional cardiologists rank among the world's foremost authorities on cardiovascular disease and its treatment. An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with additional education, training, certification, and experience in minimally invasive procedures performed on the heart and arteries. You might be referred to an interventional cardiologist for a test called an angiogram, which is used to diagnose blockages in your arteries. If tests reveal a problem, your cardiologist may recommend a procedure such as angioplasty or stenting. During angioplasty, the interventional cardiologist feeds a long, slender tube called a catheter into an artery. A balloon on the catheter opens at the site of the blockage, pushing a substance called plaque aside. Plaque builds up in arteries, eventually restricting blood flow. Angioplasty works to restore the flow of blood in the arteries. Sometimes the interventional cardiologist will also complete a stenting procedure, during which a tiny mesh tube called a stent is inserted into the artery at the angioplasty site to help keep the artery open. An interventional cardiologist is a critical part of the care team that will be with you throughout diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. Interventional cardiologists work closely with primary care physicians to coordinate patient cardiovascular care. Original … Continue reading →

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100% oxygen at a pressure that is greater than what you normally experience. Wounds need oxygen to heal properly, and exposing a wound to 100% oxygen can, in some cases, speed the healing process. Hyperbaric oxygentherapy can be done in a number of ways. It can be given in a special type of room called a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.In this setting, you are completely immersed in 100% oxygen delivered at high pressure. It can also be given through a gas mask, which delivers 100% oxygen toyour lungs. The rest ofyour body is at normal oxygen levels, but still under higher pressure than normal. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for certain types of wounds. Some of these are: Ask your provider if hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate for your condition, particularly if you have diabetes-related wounds. Side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are extremely rare but include: Pressure-related trauma toyour ears or nose Nearsightedness (This usually resolves within days to weeks after the last treatment.) Nonlife-threatening convulsions related to oxygen toxicity Decompression sickness A few patients with severe congestive heart failure have experienced additional problems with heart function after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Share your … Continue reading →
