Budimir Drakulic PHD: New Cardiac Technologies

According to Budimir Drakulic PHD, the new technologies applied to Cardiology occupy a prominent place in all scientific meetings. Therefore, the Congress of Cardiovascular Diseases 2009, has dedicated much of its scientific program to the latest advances in this field. These advances have a clear benefit, both for the patient and for the daily clinical practice of the cardiologist.

"The evolution that techniques have experienced, both in diagnosis and treatment in the last 25 years, has been spectacular, from the first pacemaker or pioneering catheter interventions," says Budimir Drakulic PHD. "We have witnessed an authentic revolution in the development of cardiovascular imaging techniques," he adds. The heart is one of the most complex organs of the human body to which it is also very difficult to access and visualize, given the position in which it is located. "

"Modern imaging techniques allow us to know the anatomy of the heart and how it is working, providing a series of fundamental advantages at the time of diagnosing the patient and applying the appropriate treatment," says Budimir Drakulic PHD, "In this sense, the future lines of research go through a development of diagnostic techniques before the patient develops the disease, non-invasive procedures and implementation of state-of-the-art imaging techniques, such as the new CT," he concludes.
