Mark E. Josephson (1943-2017) was an American cardiologist and writer, who was in the 1970s one of the American pioneers of the medical cardiology subspecialty of cardiac electrophysiology.
Cardiac electrophysiology is a relatively young subdiscipline of cardiology and internal medicine. It was developed during the mid-1970s by Hein J. J. Wellens, professor of medicine at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and attending cardiologist at the Academic Hospital in Maastricht. In 1980 the first microprocessor based ...
Andreas Roland Grüntzig (25 June 1939 – 27 October 1985) was a German radiologist and cardiologist, with foundational interest, training and research in epidemiology and angiology. He is known for being the first to develop successful balloon angioplasty for expanding lumens of narrowed arteries .
The history of invasive cardiology begins with the development of cardiac catheterization in 1711, when Stephen Hales placed catheters into the right and left ventricles of a living horse. Variations on the technique were performed over the subsequent century, with formal study of cardiac physiology being performed by Claude Bernard in the 1840s.
Alice K. Jacobs is a professor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine who specializes in interventional cardiology, coronary revascularization, and sex-based differences in cardiovascular disease.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation ( TAVI) is the implantation of the aortic valve of the heart through the blood vessels without actual removal of the native valve (as opposed to the aortic valve replacement by open heart surgery, surgical aortic valve replacement, AVR). The first TAVI was performed on 16 April 2002 by Alain Cribier ...
Coronary artery dissection involves the formation of a hematoma (purple) within the walls of the coronary artery. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection ( SCAD) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma, within the artery ...
Pathophysiology. Ischemic cardiomyopathy is caused by too little blood flow and hence oxygen reaching the muscular layer of the heart due to a narrowing of coronary arteries in turn causing cell death. This can cause different levels of tissue injury and affect large and intermediate arteries alike. [10] [11] [12]

Mark Anderson (American football) (born 1983), American football player; Mark Anderson (decathlete) (born 1958), American decathlete and competitor at the 1983 World Championships; Mark Anderson (distance runner), American distance runner and medallist at the 1980 IAAF World Cross Country Championships
Neurocardiology refers to the pathophysiological interplays of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. [3] The constant communication between the heart and the brain have proved invaluable to interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases. [4]
