Using a combination of x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound, cardiologists can now build virtual three and four dimensional models of the interiors of patients' hearts. Cardiologists Dr Antonis Pantazis and Dr Mike Mullen (UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science) talk about heart imaging technology and the changes it is making to surgery, and to the lives of one patient in particular, George Adonis.

Prof. Tony Nobles and patient John Wyall discuss PFO, Closure with the Heartsitch TA, and the recovery that follows, based on the patient's experience with Dr Michael Mullen
At the National Cardiac Research Center in Astana, Kazakhstan, the Heartstitch TA is a success in a case performed by Dr. Yuri Pya, Dr. Serik Almazovich Alimbayev, Dr. Timur Lesbekov, Dr. Abdurashid Adbuganiyech Musayev, and proctored by Dr. Michael Mullen, and Professor Anthony Nobles
Cardiologist Dr Michael Mullen talks about who TAVI is suitable for and what's required before the procedure like ECG tests and CT scans. It usually lasts for an hour to an hour and a half, with the surgery done through the leg.
A PFO or patent foramen ovale is a small hole that we all have at the back of the heart when we are born. For some people, this hole doesn't close and can lead to blood clots travelling to the brain, causing a stroke.
MitraClip is a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment for mitral regurgitation as an alternative to open-heart surgery. Cardiologist Dr Michael Mullen talks about how this procedure varies from open heart surgery and who is more suited to the MitraClip.
Cardiologist Dr Michael Mullen talks about what you need to do and how to prepare for the MitraClip procedure. Your mitral heart valve will have to be looked at carefully before the procedure, usually with a transesophageal echocardiogram.
