Dimensional Range

Nanotechnology studies particles and fibers in the 10e-9 m dimensional range. Multiple advancements, availability of materials, manufacturing and process technology, and improvements in targeted-delivery capabilities have dramatically impacted the use of nanotechnology in medical science. However, nowhere has the benefit been as profound as in the field of cardiology. This chapter discusses various aspects of the use of nanotechnology, including materials, design, and formulation characteristics. The authors begin by introducing the complexity of cardiovascular disease, identifying the problem of scale, and of targeted delivery, followed by a brief history of nanotechnology. Specific instances of innovation milestones, such as the invention of Drug Eluting Stents are followed by a detailed discussion of materials and a proposed classification scheme. Nanotechnology-based cardiovascular imaging systems for use in diagnostic and preventive medicine and scaffolds for the design of 3D artificial constructs as putative futuristic replacements of transplant hearts are discussed in detail.

The article considers the issues of formation and development of the field of transplantology in Ukraine, scientists who discovered, developed, glorified this field in the country. It has been established that the field of transplantation is an important component of the sphere of health care, and is also a particularly important task of state activity in general, which is to ensure public relations in the field under study. It has been studied that transplantation as a method of treatment is shown in a large number of different diseases, it is often the only way to save lives, and its history is inextricably linked with the development of medicine as a whole. Ukrainian medical science has a rich history associated with the names of prominent scientists in the field of theoretical, clinical and preventive medicine of the past and present. The proposal to cover the history of transplantology as one of the branches of medical science, which is an independent branch of health care, and in general the general history of human culture, which considers the development of knowledge related to diseases, human treatment, preservation and promotion of health. and the task of the whole country today is to help the development of this industry for the sake of new lives saved, for the sake of the future.

Intervention Procedure

This chapter covers percutaneous coronary intervention. It starts with the history of the procedure, indications, and techniques for imaging the lesion, and describes different systems of lesion classification. The equipment required for percutaneous coronary intervention, including guiding catheters, angioplasty guide wires, angioplasty balloons, and intracoronary stents (drug-eluting stents, bioabsorbable scaffolds, etc.) are all covered. The percutaneous coronary intervention procedure is then explained. Intravascular ultrasound is compared and contrasted to optical coherence tomography. Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies are described in detail, and finally specific techniques in complex PCI are covered.
