DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2021.3478
Abstract: Importance Enhanced ventricular interdependence is a highly sensitive and specific criterion for the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis (CP), but simultaneous ventricular measurements can be challenging at cardiac catheterization. Ejection times (ETs) correlate with stroke volumes… read more here.

“To close or not to close?” When should vascular closure devices be used after cardiac catheterization procedures?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"
DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27360
Abstract: Vascular closure devices (VCD) appear to be safe when compared to manual compression or surgical closure. VCDs’ main advantage seems to stem from lower time to hemostasis (TTH) and time to mobilization. In anticoagulated patients… read more here.
