Competent invasive therapeutic methods have been introduced into clinical cardiology in recent years, and new imaging procedures have been developed for on-line evaluation of the results of these interventions. These include intravascular ultrasound and Doppler, transesophageal echocardiography and new methods for evaluating myocardial viability and perfusion.
