April 28, 2014 Sophie Langley World Congress of Cardiology will focus on salt The World Congress of Cardiology, which will convene leading experts from across the world in Melbourne between 4 May 2014 and 7 May 2014, will focus on the importance of national targets to reduce premature mortality related to cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as dietary salt guidelines. Health experts have agreed that most populations consume too much salt. This has been linked to CVD risk ractor hypertension or raised blood pressure, which cuases 9.4 million of the 17.3 million CVD related deaths each year. At the World Congress of Cardiology, experts will discuss the benefits and feasibility of food reformulation, and low sodium and salt guidelines, and the approaches needed to encourage uptake at a national level. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that adults should have no more than 5g of salt a day less than one full teaspoon. However, in most countries the average person consumes between 9g and 12g a day. The majority of salt eaten is already in food, with an estimated 75 per cent of salt intake coming from everyday processed foods such as bread, breakfast cereal and processed meats.

(Dan Rosenstrauch/Bay Area News Group) CONCORD -- To see a person's human heart beating in three dimensions, to watch the blood flow in and out from outside the body, is a marvel of technology that still sometimes astonishes Howard Min. "To my mind, it's mind-boggling," said Min, a cardiologist at John Muir Medical Center at Concord. "And it's not just pretty pictures. It allows us to see things, understand things and actually do things we would have never imagined possible. "In some ways, it might put me out of a job someday, but I'll be glad for it," said Min, medical director of the hospital's cardiac catheterization lab. That's "because someday when I'm a heart patient, don't poke me unless you absolutely have … Continue reading →

The cardiology department at Evelina Children's Hospital - part of the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London - has an international reputation for treating heart problems in children, caring for around 6,000 patients each year. As with all hospitals, Evelina is constantly trying to make the procedures it carries out as efficient and stress-free for patients as possible. To this end, it recently introduced new technology in a bid to make surgical operations run more smoothly. It's a fairly common for a surgeon operating on a child's heart to discover something unexpected, which requires a consultation with a senior cardiologist. That, as Frank Baldesare, NHS Guy's and St Thomas' IT enterprise architect explained, previously meant the consultant dropping everything and taking the necessary steps to enter the operating theatre. "Typically the issue encountered by the cardiologists would be wherever they are in the hospital they'd get a bleep to their pager, drop everything they're doing, run down, scrub up, and go into the theatre, but the key piece of information they would look at during the dialogue with the surgeon would be the cardiogram, an ultrasound image that runs during the whole operation," he told Computing. Baldesare … Continue reading →
