Cardiac procedures

insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart

medical techniques used to manage coronary occlusion

Cardioversion is a medical procedure by which an abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia) or other cardiac arrhythmia is converted to a normal rhythm using electricity or drugs.

device implantable inside the body, able to perform cardioversion, defibrillation, and (in modern versions) pacing of the heart

minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter

minimally-invasive procedure used to remove or terminate a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the hearts

technique for replacement of the aortic valve in a heart

medical treatment that restores blood flow through blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack

outdated medical procedure meant to reverse an out-of-hospital, sudden cardiac arrest.

medical intervention

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is the measurement of ballistic forces generated by the heart. The downward movement of blood through the descending aorta produces an upward recoil, moving the body upward with each heartbeat. As different parts of the aorta expand and contract, the body continues to move downward and upward in a repeating pattern. Ballistocardiography is a technique for producing a graphical representation of repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection of blood into the great vessels with each heart beat. It is a vital sign in the 1–20 Hz frequency range w
