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.

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, or major adverse cardiac events) is a composite endpoint frequently used in cardiovascular research. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Despite widespread use of the term in clinical trials, the definitions of MACE can differ, which makes comparison of similar studies difficult.
Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography are often performed to exclude ischemic heart disease. [ 28 ] Genetic testing can be important, since one study has shown that gene mutations in the TTN gene (which codes for a protein called titin ) are responsible for "approximately 25% of familial cases of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and ...

“It's a mess because it's having an effect on suicide prevention, mammograms, cardiology, a range of services, including benefits under the PACT Act,” said Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the ...
Specifically, echocardiogram (ECHO) has been used as a definitive noninvasive diagnostic tool in nearly all children. ECHO assesses cardiac ventricular size, wall thickness, systolic and diastolic function, and outflow obstruction. Thus, ECHO has been chosen as an ideal means to detect excessive wall thickening of cardiac muscle in HCM. [68]
