25.01.2022 An exercise stress echocardiogram (or stress echo) is a ultrasound (use of sound waves) imaging procedure of the heart before & after a treadmill exercise stress test. It shows how well the heart & heart valves respond to physical work. Your doctor uses stress echo to determine how well your heart tolerates activity, to evaluate the function of your heart & valves, to determine the likelihood of having coronary artery disease & to evaluate the effectiveness of your cardiac t...reatment plan. A sophisticated cardiac test that is patient friendly because it is non-invasive, practical & relatively painless (apart from a short period of intense exercise). . . . . #stressecho #echocardiogram #stresstest #cardiovasculardisease #heartdisease #diagnosis #detection #prevention #hearthealth #heartcare #patientcare #patientexperience #monashhealth #monashheart #whatwednesday

22.01.2022 Significant publication in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions - Periprocedural myocardial injury predicts short- and long- term mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Significant not only for its findings & therefore impact in improving TAVR patient management, but especially as is a collaborative paper of University College London, St. George’s University of London, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome & Monash Cardiovascu...lar Research Centre clinical researchers. Special mention of first author PhD fellow Dr Michael Michail (left), St George’s London medical student James N Cameron (middle) & senior researcher cardiologist Dr Adam Brown (right). . . . . . . . #research #publication #evidence #learning #understanding #researcher #medicalstudent #collaboration #improvingcare #improvingtreatments #improvingoutcomes #tavr #tavi #aorticvalve #circulation #cardiology #monashcardiovascularresearchcentre #universitycollegelondon #stgeorgesuniversity #universityofthesacredheart Monash Health Monash University University College London UCU

20.01.2022 The next in our weekly #whatwednesday (what test/procedure is that) is Cardiac CT. Using a computed tomography (CT) scanner, a cardiac CT refers to 3D images obtained of the heart & coronary arteries, with the most common indication being for the investigation of chest pain & may eliminate the need for an invasive angiogram. Benefits of cardiac CT include that it is a safe, non-invasive (an IV drip is needed for contrast) & painless test that can be performed relatively qui...ckly (the scan itself takes less than one second), most often as a outpatient visiting the hospital & is performed in a light & open room. MonashHeart has been an Australian leader in clinical cardiac CT for the last decade, particularly in the use of cardiac CT for patients presenting to the emergency department with low to moderate risk chest pain. . . . . . . #cardiacct #whatwednesday #patientinformation #patientcare #patientoutcomes #patientexperience #diagnosis #treatment #prevention #cardiology #radiology #coronaryarterydisease #chestpain #leadersinthefield #research #evidence #monashhealth #monashheart Monash Health

11.01.2022 Timely reminder from the Heart Foundation to take care during the heat. In Australia, heatwaves claim more lives than any other natural hazard,......it is vital that those of us at risk take a little extra care. Make sure you know the warning signs of heart attack & be prepared to immediately call triple zero (000) if you need help.... . . . . . #heatwave #healthtips #heartfoundation #vulnerable #warmingsigns #heartattack #drinkwater #keepcool #monashhealth #monashheart credit HeartFoundation Australia See more
