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 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 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.

GE Healthcare Korea announced today it has installed its cyclotron with a complete PET radiopharmacy suite at the Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences (KIRAMS), making the nuclear medicine institute the world’s 400th cyclotron production facility under the GE brand.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can detect coronary vascular changes beyond the capabilities of angiography in pediatric heart transplant recipients, according to a study published July 18 in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

Twice as many U.S. deaths due to cardiac amyloidosis were reported in 2015 than in 1979, but a study in JAMA Cardiology suggests the disease remains vastly underdiagnosed.

Quantifying myocardial blood flow (MBF) with CT perfusion (CTP) imaging can accurately predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). It also showed improved risk stratification in stenosis patients when paired with coronary CT angiography (CTA), according to a recent JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging study.
