Physicians often tell AFib patients they should limit coffee consumption to protect their hearts. This new analysis, however, suggests that may not be necessary.
Researchers used AI-enabled software developed by Cleerly to evaluate the CCTA results of more than 6,000 patients. The software was consistently effective, identifying patients who may face an increased risk of poor outcomes.
Calcium in the coronary arteries is a known cardiac risk factor. However, new data suggest it may actually tell us more about a person's overall health than researchers previously believed.
Researchers warned that “aggressive procedural modifications” should not be necessary during TAVR to mitigate the risk of prosthesis-patient mismatch. This appears to be true for patients receiving both self-expanding and balloon-expandable TAVR valves.
It's clear that advanced AI algorithms will radically transform care for TAVR patients in the years ahead. For now, however, certain AI models may require too much data to be helpful on a consistent basis.
As a person’s concentration dwindles during resting state or task-based sequences, the resultant brain activity observed on imaging could be misleading.
Matthew Reynolds, MD, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, explains data from the EXCALIBER and CAMELOT studies that show ambulatory cardiac monitoring usage among more than 300,000 patients.
Gene manipulation can revert the cardiomyocytes back to a fetal state, allowing them to regenerate. Researchers are now looking for drugs to mimic the effect.
The publication will include "pictorial essays, case reports and expert commentary for today’s practicing radiologists," the society announced Thursday.
