A shortened, three-month course of dual antiplatelet therapy might be a safer bet than 12-month treatment for patients at a high risk of bleeding after PCI and implantation of a drug-eluting stent.

Five-year results of the ABSORB III trial suggest that, while target lesion failure and scaffold thrombosis have remained apparent in patients implanted with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds, the poor outcomes associated with BVS seemed to subside after three years, when the stents had completely dissolved.

Leveraging machine learning to read cardiac MRIs could speed up scan analysis while retaining the same accuracy as a physician, researchers reported this month.

Research out of the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University suggests focused cardiac ultrasound, rather than a full echo workup, might be an effective way of screening for CVD in cats.

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, together with eight other nuclear medicine and cardiology societies, have published a consensus document outlining the best practices for imaging and diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis.

Researchers have successfully trained a convolutional neural network to detect congestive heart failure with 100% accuracy using data from just one heartbeat.

Handheld POC echo has proven useful in- and outside of the emergency department, but physicians still have reservations.

The transcarotid approach to TAVR is becoming more common, according to research presented at TVT.19.
