Novel technologies to diagnose and manage cardiovascular disease

Figures & data

Figure 1. ECG worst prognostic factor for pacemaker implantation according to survey respondents. (A) before aortic valve replacement (AVR); (B) new onset after AVR (From reference [16]).

Figure 2. Patient with conduction disorders in Cardiac Sarcoidosis. ECG showing second degree atrioventricular block 2/1. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showing patchy mid-wall and subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) involving the infero-basal, infero-septal-apical and antero-basal segments of the left ventricle compatible with myocardial fibrosis. Positron emission tomography (PET) showed infero-basal and antero-basal myocardial 18 F-Fluorodoxyglucose uptake (From reference [33]).
