Noninvasive calibration of cardiac pressure transducers in patients with heart failure: an aid to implantable hemodynamic monitoring and therapeutic guidance.
J Card Fail
September 2006
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, and the Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Implantable cardiac pressure monitors require assurance of calibration. This study evaluated if airway pressure responses during Valsalva maneuver (VM) can be used for calibrating intracardiac pressure transducers.
Methods And Results: Thirty-eight heart failure patients performed VMs while cardiac and airway pressures were recorded.
Effects of beta(-)-emitting (188)Re balloon in stented porcine coronary arteries: an angiographic, intravascular ultrasound, and histomorphometric study.

Division of Cardiology and the Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Restenosis within stents may be prevented by ionizing radiation from an intravascular source.
Methods And Results: A liquid beta(-) radiation ((188)Re) balloon was evaluated in a randomized and blinded porcine coronary model of stent restenosis. Group A pigs (n=17) received 0,16, 22, or 29 Gy at 0.
