Even with success accomplished through extensive propagation of advanced technologies, there is substantial opportunity to advance medical techniques. This includes treatment of more patients, doing so more securely and with better clinical success. Building Smart Cath Labs is highly related to it. Discussing further, Catheterization Laboratory, also called Cath Lab, is a medical examination room where angiogram, angioplasty, ablation, and implantation of pacemaker are carried out.

40-something yo who is on flecainide and diltiazem had sudden onset chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath and diaphoresis : Rate is 220. What do you think? It is fast, narrow, and regular, without P-waves. So it is not atrial fib and not VT. It is a regular narrow complex tachycardia. There is a lot of ST depression -- this is ischemia caused by the very fast rate and is an indication for emergent electrical cardioversion.

The ABIM Cardiology Board Exam is a difficult test, but the content is very learnable. The average pass rate is ~93% over the past several years, which happens to be higher than most of the other Medical Specialty Boards. On the other hand, Cardiologists may simply be more prepared, and that’s the reason for the higher pass rate. Test your knowledge with some of our sample Cardiology Board Review Practice Questions!

Exposure to ionizing radiation is a matter of prime concern for interventional cardiologists and other cath lab staff. Such radiation increases the risk of cancer and cataract amongst them. Apart from radiation, there is an orthopedic injury-related risk too. The radiation protection apron worn by the medical personnel is heavy enough to affect the spine or lead to chronic back problems.
