She obtained her degree in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Seville and completed her specialization in cardiology at La Paz University Hospital in Madrid.
Pastora Gallego is a Cardiologist with particular expertise in adult congenital heart disease and advanced cardiac imaging. Written by experts in the field who are also involved in patient care, this book discusses the practical application of innovations in advanced multimodality imaging in the daily clinical routine and offers tips and tricks for beginners. Exploring the applicability of these emerging technologies in improving our understanding of complex congenital cardiac defect anatomy and physiology will provide new treatment options for this unique population. In addition, translational technologies on the horizon promise to take this nascent field even further. Novel approaches to trans-catheter interventions and advances in echocardiography, MRI and CT imaging are being developed and incorporated into routine clinical practice, while emerging three-dimensional printing technologies are fundamentally affecting patient care, research, trainee education, and interactions between multidisciplinary teams, patients, and caregivers.
Innovations and emerging technologies for diagnosis and therapeutics, evaluation and treatment are continually evolving, and due to these advances in non-invasive diagnosis, there has been a significant improvement in the survival rates for CHD patient. It covers all clinically relevant aspects of the fascinating new cardiac imaging technologies, including a comprehensive explanation of their basic principles, practical aspects of novel clinical applications, and detailed descriptions of specific uses in the broad spectrum of clinically important adult CHD.
Remote Management for anywhere, anytime remote management even behind NAT firewalls with Quintum’s Remote Management Session Server.This book focuses on congenital heart disease (CHD) and emerging imaging technologies. NATAccess™ to allow Tenor to operate behind NAT firewalls to translate internal IP addresses into public addresses when a VoIP call is established with an outside party. Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) provides ‘Any to Any’ connectivity: SIP-SIP, TDM-TDM and SIP-TDM, for easy integration with any network. Quintum DX2024 2T1 Multipath Switch w/24 VoIP Channels The same auto-provisioning capability allows the Tenor to be configured from a VoIP application, thus supporting a single user interface between the VoIP application and the Tenor configuration. Auto Provisioning interface allows the a Quintum DX Tenor solution to be deployed worldwide, and configured automatically by acquiring the configuration information from a central server, upon installation. Universal Dial Plan that provides a programmable dial plan so Tenor to be integrated into any network environment. PacketSaver Technology multiplexing to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 57% by combining voice packets from multiple calls into a single packet.
The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently “hop off” to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. Transparent MultiPath Call Routing to intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve the best combination of cost and quality. MultiPath architecture for easy integration with existing voice and data infrastructure, meaning little or no re-programming of the PBX, or upgrades are required and no need for special dialing plans.
