When should a PCI be performed?

Primary PCI is only indicated when symptoms duration is 12-24 hours (delayed presentation) if severe congestive heart failure, hemodynamic/electrical instability or continued angina is present. Primary PCI is not recommended when symptom onset is more than 12 hours and the patient is asymptomatic (OAT trial).

Is a graphics card a PCI?

Typically they will all be PCI Express, but for a graphics card you need a PCI Express x16 slot. There are three versions of this slot, but they’re backwards compatible, so a modern PCI Express 3.0 graphics card will work in a motherboard with a PCI Express x16 2.0 slot.

Are you awake during a PCI?

A cardiologist, or doctor who specializes in the heart, will perform PCI in a hospital cardiac catheterization laboratory. You will stay awake, but you will be given medicine to relax you.

• Pleating Pins-Fine, strong and sharp pins.
• Twist Pins-A thumbtack-style pin, which has a plastic head, and a short corkscrew type shaft.

Does PCI compliance mean PII and card data security?

PCI DSS 3.0 puts a greater emphasis on achieving security through compliance rather than compliance for the sake of compliance. This is a step on the part of the PCI Standards Council in shifting attention from achieving compliance to achieving the compliance goal – PII and card data security.

How many pins does a PCIe slot have?

PCIe x1 has 18 pins and is 25 mm long. PCIe x4 has 32 pins and is 39 mm long. PCIe x8 has 49 pins and is 56 mm long. PCIe x16 has 82 pins and is 89 mm long. Regardless of the size or number of pins, the key notch is always at the eleventh pin.
