Researchers are hopeful that uptake of the molecular SPECT imaging agent will help providers more ably monitor disease progression.

Treatment with TriClip has been consistently associated with minimal adverse events and significant improvements in quality of life. This latest update represents data from nearly 100 patients three years after implantation.  

The scans will be conducted earlier than any other post-flight imaging of astronauts on record. 

Body composition metrics derived from CT scans provide greater insight into how losing weight affects the body from a cardiometabolic perspective.

Specifically, women with BACs on their mammogram may be at an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Perhaps treating more of these patients with tricuspid valve repair or replacement could make a difference, researchers noted.
