Translation of "Herzkatheteruntersuchung" in English

Her doctor did the gold standard test: a cardiac catheterization.

Cardiac catheter examinations are indicated in complex cardiac abnormalities and before operations.

This examination can replace a cardiac catheter examination in some cases.

In a second cardiac catheter procedure, the arrhythmia was cured with an ablation.

Last month, I had to do a cardiac cath on a patient with no signs of heart disease.

Werner Forßmann (1904-1979) performs the first heart catheterisation in a self-experiment in Eberswalde.

In addition to conservative medication therapy, cardiologists are increasingly treating heart problems during cardiac catheterization interventionally.

Aminophylline (100 mg, administered by slow intravenous injection over 60 seconds) injected 1 minute after 400 micrograms regadenoson in subjects undergoing cardiac catheterisation, was shown to shorten the duration of the coronary blood flow response to regadenoson as measured by pulsed- wave Doppler ultrasonography.

In patients undergoing coronary catheterisation, pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure the average peak velocity (APV) of CBF before and up to 30 minutes after administration of Rapiscan (400 micrograms, intravenously).

Aminophylline (100 mg, administered by slow intravenous injection over 60 seconds) injected 1 minute after 400 micrograms regadenoson in subjects undergoing cardiac catheterisation, was shown to shorten the duration of the coronary blood flow response to regadenoson as measured by pulsed- wave Doppler ultrasonography.

During a stay in Germany he was admitted to the clinic of the Technical University of Munich from 26 November to 2 December 1996, and inter alia underwent catheterisation with a heart catheter.

Nor did any side effects occur in two patients known to be allergic to iodine (cardiac catheter examination of one patient had to be terminated) and one patient allergic to plasters.

Our activities include collaborating in the organisation, the coordination and execution of the various cardiological diagnoses and therapies such as ECG, heart ultrasound, follow-up care for pacemakers, heart catheter exams and treatments, cardiological care at stations and in outpatient clinics.

This examination replaces in many cases a cardiac catheter examination and enables relevant stenoses (constrictions) of the coronary vessels to be excluded.

Here, similarly to a cardiac catheter examination, the implantation is performed via the artery in the groin (transfemorally), a small incision in the left-hand side of the chest above the apex of the heart (transapically) or via an upper partial sternotomy directly through the aorta (transaortally) of the patient.

Nor did any side effects occur in two patients known to be allergic to iodine (cardiac catheter examination of one patient had to be terminated) and one patient allergic to plasters.

In this respect, the method can also be used on non-imaging methods such as electrophysiological cardiac catheterisation examination (measurement of potential in the heart).

The invention relates to a method of evaluating images of a cavity in the human or an animal body, which have been acquired with medical imaging methods such as real-time 3D ultrasound, X-ray methods, computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), an electrophysiological cardiac catheterisation examination, or nuclear-medical methods such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).

For patients with a heart catheter examination, we have compiled important information about this examination.

The diagnosis is made using a ECG (high R-peaks in the leading derivation), echocardiography (riding aorta) and cardiac catheter examinations (anatomy of the pulmonary stenosis).

Before the procedure, the exact size and location of the defect is established using an ultrasound examination, heart catheter examination or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

We conduct both the “major” heart catheterization examination, also called coronary angiography, via an artery as well as the “minor” heart catheterization examination via a vein.

Researchers at the MHH Hospital for Cardiology and Angiology around Prof. Dr Kai C. Wollert have identified GDF-15 as a marker in the blood of patients with acute coronary syndromes that indicates whether a cardiac catheter examination is required.

Other, more specialised, examination methods used according to the type of suspected congenital heart defect include cardiac catheterisation (CC), during which an interventional operation can be carried out at the same time, magnetic resonance tomography/imaging (MRT/MRI) and computerised tomography (CT).

If a patient has one or more of these factors or atypical chest pain, CT imaging of the coronary vessels can determine whether or not an invasive cardiac catheter examination is necessary.

As the problem occurred more frequently in the course of time despite therapy, a cardiac catheter examination was made in May 1991 and a constricted blood vessel of the heart was dilated with an inflator.

Computer tomography of the heart provides a precise anatomical image of diseased arteries and diagnoses any abnormal changes (e.g. narrowing). As a result, this procedure has become a common alternative to heart catheter examinations.

Because of the excellent quality of its images, the ECG is in many cases better than cardiac catheterisation; thus this invasive and much more complex and time consuming procedure is often unnecessary.

A cardiac catheter or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) test may be needed to find out how the veins connect.
