In 2001 he returned to Warsaw to become director of both the Clinic of Cardiac Surgery No. 2 and the Institute of Cardiology.

His two decades of service to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation were recognized by the establishment of the Michael Pitfield Chair in Cardiac Surgery at the Institute.

In 1985 he and John Kirklin published their authoritative text Cardiac Surgery, a colossal achievement of more than 1, 500 pages that quickly became the standard reference for the sub-specialty.

The ACC has published criteria for Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging ( SPECT MPI ), Cardiac Computed Tomography ( CCT ) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance ( CMR ) Imaging, resting transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography ( TTE / TEE ) and echocardiography.

The multiple close games, won either in overtime or with a slim margin, gave way to a new nickname for the Panthers: the " Cardiac Cats.

Cardiac tamponade is a condition in which the fibrous sac surrounding the heart fills with excess fluid or blood, suppressing the heart's ability to beat properly.

Cardiac arrest is synonymous with clinical death.

This was repeated in Toronto, Canada in 1968 using a single ambulance called Cardiac One, which was staffed by a regular ambulance crew, along with a hospital intern to perform the advanced procedures.

Typical resuscitation staffing involves at least one attending physician ( DO or MD ), and at least one and usually two nurses with trauma and Advanced Cardiac Life Support training.

Cardiac disease is one of the first conditions that must be excluded in patients with unexplained chest pain given that patients with chest pain related to GERD cannot be distinguished from those with chest pain due to cardiac conditions.

Cardiac tamponade presents with dyspnea, tachycardia, elevated jugular venous pressure, and pulsus paradoxus.

Echocardiography uses conventional Ultrasound and combines two dimensional ( 2D ) ultrasound with Doppler measurements to calculate Cardiac Output.

Cardiac tamponade is pressure on the heart muscle which occurs when the pericardial space fills up with fluid faster than the pericardial sac can stretch.

Cardiac gated acquisitions are possible with SPECT, just as with planar imaging techniques such as MUGA.

In the R D Birla International Cardiac Centre associated with Bombay Hospital, there are 4 dedicated operation theatres, 2 cath labs where 1800 surgeries and 4000 angiographies / angioplasties are conducted each year.

In addition, he has trained ambulance attendants, paramedics, nurses, residents, and practicing physicians in cardiac and trauma resuscitation as a course director in Advanced Cardiac Life Support ( ACLS ) with the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation and in Advanced Trauma Life Support with the American College of Surgeons.

In medical research Melpar developed synthetic materials ( tissue growth ) to be compatible with the heart ( later known as the Jarvik heart ), and produced an electronic heart monitor ( Cardiac Sentry ) which detected out-of-norm variations, maintained hospital records and administered prescribed treatments.

Cardiac surgery training may be combined with thoracic surgery and / or vascular surgery and called cardiovascular ( CV ) / cardiothoracic ( CT ) / cardiovascular thoracic ( CVT ) surgery.

Cardiac surgery training in the United States is combined with thoracic surgery and called cardiothoracic surgery.

Cardiac pacemaker cells, a type of cardiac myocyte in the SA node of heart, are an example of cells with a pacemaker potential.

Cardiac complications occur when glycolipids build up in different heart cells ; heart related effects worsen with age and may lead to increased risk of heart disease.

Cardiac syndrome X is angina ( chest pain ) with signs associated with decreased blood flow to heart tissue but with normal coronary arteries.
