; Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty ( PTCA ): Enlarging the lumen of a coronary artery by forcibly expanding it with a balloon.

* Percutaneous ethanol injection ( PEI ) well tolerated, high RR in small (< 3 cm ) solitary tumors ; as of 2005, no randomized trial comparing resection to percutaneous treatments ; recurrence rates similar to those for postresection.

; Congenital heart defect correction: Percutaneous approaches can be employed to correct atrial septal and ventricular septal defects, closure of a patent ductus arteriosus, and angioplasty of the great vessels.

; Acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ): Acute coronary syndrome is a broad term encompassing many acute myocardial infarction symptoms.

; Coronary heart disease: Coronary heart disease is a general term for any reduction in coronary circulation.

; Myocardial infarction ( aka heart attack ): A myocardial infarction is the death of a part of the heart which is typically caused by a blockage of the coronary circulation or coronary heart disease.

; Restenosis: Recurrence of stenosis which would refer to a coronary artery in the context of the coronary circulation.

; Coronary artery bypass surgery ( CABG ): Grafting an artery or vein from elsewhere ( typically the leg ) to bypass a stenotic coronary artery.

; Atherectomy: Enlarging the lumen of a coronary artery by removal of atherosclerotic plaque.

; Stenting: Enlarging the lumen of a coronary artery by forcibly expanding it with a metal wire tube.

; Coronary catheterization: Catheterization of the coronary arteries.

The heart is fed by the coronary circulation and is enclosed by a sac known as the pericardium ; it is also surrounded by the lungs.

All forms of coronary heart disease are much less-common in the Third World, as its risk factors are much more common in Western and Westernized countries ; it could therefore be termed a disease of affluence.

* “ Arbitrary ” comorbidity: initial alogism of the combination of diseases is not proven, but soon can be explained with clinical and scientific point of view ( for example, combination of coronary heart disease ( CHD ) and choledocholithiasis ; combination of acquired heart valvular disease and psoriasis ).

Some brands of peanut butter may contain a small amount of added partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are high in trans fatty acids, thought to be a cause of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke ; these oils are added to prevent the peanut oil from separating.

Paper filters remove oily components called diterpenes ; these organic compounds, present in unfiltered coffee, appear to increase the risk of coronary heart disease.

Nevertheless, a level above 2. 4 mg / L has been associated with a doubled risk of a coronary event compared to levels below 1 mg / L ; however, the study group in this case consisted of patients who had been diagnosed with unstable angina pectoris ; whether elevated CRP has any predictive value of acute coronary events in the general population of all age ranges remains unclear.

Specifically, coronary catheterization is a visually interpreted test performed to recognize occlusion, stenosis, restenosis, thrombosis or aneurysmal enlargement of the coronary artery lumens ; heart chamber size ; heart muscle contraction performance ; and some aspects of heart valve function.

The scope and significance of this intervention have been grossly exaggerated by Communist propaganda ; ;

Smiley later wrote to Johnson, saying he was ready to fight ; a potential duel was prevented by the intervention of Washington Burrow and Benjamin F. Cheatham.

Johnson was named to the Joint Committee on Conduct of the War whose purpose was to goad-on laggard Union generals ; Johnson, to no avail, used this platform to voice the urgency of military intervention in East Tennessee.

The fragments describe a Babylonian king ( spelled N-b-n-y ) who is afflicted by God with an " evil disease " for a period of seven years ; he is cured and his sins forgiven after the intervention of a Jewish exile who is described as a " diviner "; he issues a written proclamation in praise of the Most High God, and speaks in the first person.

Laissez-faire advocates criticize the term as an ideologically motivated attempt to cast what is in their view the fundamental problem of government intervention or “ investments ” as an avoidable aberration ; free-market advocates refer to governmental favoritism as " crony socialism ", " venture socialism " or " corporatism, a modern form of mercantilism " to emphasize that the only way to run a profitable business in such systems is to have help from corrupt government officials.

According to the New American Bible, the image in Revelation 12: 1-6 of a pregnant woman in the sky, threatened by a dragon, " corresponds to a widespread myth throughout the ancient world that a goddess pregnant with a savior was pursued by a horrible monster ; by miraculous intervention, she bore a son who then killed the monster ".

Fuller's ability as a songwriter manifested itself through the intervention of her friend, producer Hal Wallis ; Fuller had wanted to get an acting role in the Elvis Presley movie Blue Hawaii, which Wallis was producing, but instead he put her in touch with Hill & Range, the publisher that provided Presley with songs.

* national leadership and ownership should be the touchstone of any intervention ;

The Foreign Legion now had a new role as a rapid intervention force to preserve French interests not only in its former African colonies but in other nations as well ; it was also a return to its roots of being a unit always ready to be sent to hot-spots all around the world.

Whether the marketplace should be or is free is disputed ; many assert that government intervention is necessary to remedy market failure that is held to be an inevitable result of absolute adherence to free market principles.

William had already acquired the reputation of being the main champion in Europe of the Protestant cause against Catholicism and French absolutism ; in the developing English crisis he saw an opportunity to prevent an Anglo-French alliance and bring England to the anti-French side, by carrying out a military intervention directed against James.

His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide and angered the party in Illinois ; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party.

He appointed a commission that set aside 3, 000, 000 acres ( 12, 000 km² ) of national parks and 2, 300, 000 acres of national forests ; advocated tax reduction for low-income Americans ( not enacted ); closed certain tax loopholes for the wealthy ; doubled the number of veterans ' hospital facilities ; negotiated a treaty on St. Lawrence Seaway ( which failed in the U. S. Senate ); wrote a Children's Charter that advocated protection of every child regardless of race or gender ; created an antitrust division in the Justice Department ; required air mail carriers to adopt stricter safety measures and improve service ; proposed federal loans for urban slum clearances ( not enacted ); organized the Federal Bureau of Prisons ; reorganized the Bureau of Indian Affairs ; instituted prison reform ; proposed a federal Department of Education ( not enacted ); advocated $ 50-per-month pensions for Americans over 65 ( not enacted ); chaired White House conferences on child health, protection, homebuilding and home-ownership ; began construction of the Boulder Dam ( later renamed Hoover Dam ); and signed the Norris – La Guardia Act that limited judicial intervention in labor disputes.

An incident in Decatur, Georgia where water soluble caesium-137 leaked into the source storage pool requiring NRC intervention has led to near elimination of this radioisotope ; it has been replaced by the more costly, non-water soluble cobalt-60.

PCI video cards replaced ISA and VESA cards, until growing bandwidth requirements outgrew the capabilities of PCI ; the preferred interface for video cards became AGP, and then PCI Express.

Older motherboards must have a WAKEUP-LINK header onboard connected to the network card via a special 3-pin cable ; however, systems supporting the PCI 2. 2 standard and with a PCI 2. 2 compliant network adapter card do not usually require a Wake-on-LAN cable as the required standby power is relayed through the PCI bus.

Enrico Berlinguer () ( 25 May 1922 – 11 June 1984 ) was an Italian politician ; he was national secretary of the Italian Communist Party ( Partito Comunista Italiano or PCI ) from 1972 until his death.

As can be seen, there are quite a number of steps involved in a PCI DMA transfer ; however, that poses little problem, since the PCI device or PCI bus itself are an order of magnitude slower than rest of components ( see list of device bandwidths ).

At the software level, PCIe preserves backward compatibility with PCI ; legacy PCI system software can detect and configure newer PCIe devices without explicit support for the PCIe standard, though PCIe's new features are inaccessible.

Bordiga resolutely opposed the Comintern's turn to the right in 1921 ; as General Secretary of the PCI, he refused to implement the " united front " strategy of the Third Congress.

To overcome these weakness a number of design objectives were created ; Harness the full potential of the StrongARM CPU, support multiple processors, add support for PCI expansion, offer the best possible graphics, run existing RISC OS applications and to provide enhanced RISC OS functionality.

Like the Voodoo Graphics, there was no interrupt mechanism, so the driver had to poll the Rush in order to determine whether a command had completed or not ; the indirection through the 2D component added significant overhead here and tended to back up traffic on the PCI interface.

The PMC standard defines which connector pins are used for which PCI signals ; in addition it defines the optional 64 " P4 " connector pins for use of arbitrary I / O signals.

These machines had no audio circuitry on the logic board ; instead, a PERCH slot ( a dedicated 182-pin microchannel connector ; a superset of the PCI spec, but which does not accept PCI cards ) was populated with a " personality card " which provided the audio circuitry.

Among ICFI and ISFI groups, only the PCI and the SLL refused to attend ; the supporters of Posadas had left in 1962.

PC &# 8209 ; compatible computers in this type of case typically use the PCI expansion bus and are usually either a ) limited to one or two horizontally placed expansion cards or b ) require special low-profile expansion cards, shorter than the PCI cards regular PCs use.

Some boards based around non-x86 processors have a 3. 3V PCI slot, and the Mini-ITX 2. 0 ( 2008 ) boards have a PCI-express × 16 slot ; these boards are not compatible with the standard PCI riser cards supplied with cases.
