Patients without electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy were significantly more likely to die in the two years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), researchers reported July 30 in Clinical Cardiology.

A group of researchers from a Veterans Affairs health system in California shared their experience with limited left ventricular echocardiography, something they believe could reduce the cost and time required for testing in select patients.

A group of California researchers believes a limited transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) that solely evaluates the left ventricle could be more efficient and cost-effective in certain patients compared to whole echocardiography.

A team of international scientists developed a new non-invasive MRI-based early warning system that may alert physicians about approaching heart attacks in patients and identify those at high risk.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers superior detection of coronary vascular changes compared to angiography in pediatric heart transplant recipients. The technique can be used to improve the medical management in this population.
