Patients often develop AFib during cardiac surgery, leading to longer hospital stays, additional healthcare costs and a higher risk of mortality. Cooling the oblique sinus of the patient's heart as soon as AFib starts to develop may represent a new way to stop the problem in its tracks.
Using one of the most powerful MRI scanners to date, researchers believe they have identified subtle neural changes in the brain that precede Parkinson’s disease.
Cardiologists are turning to leadless pacemakers more and more for cardiac pacing, but those devices have not previously been able to perform LBBAP. This new analysis includes new data on the world’s very first leadless LBBAP procedures.
Given the less invasive nature of focused ultrasound procedures, researchers suggest that it could open the door for disease management options catered to a wider variety of patients.
Some SGLT2 inhibitors have been linked to significant improvements in HF outcomes, but what about sotagliflozin? We spoke with Bertram Pitt, MD, to learn more.
Many radiation oncologists are not formerly trained in imaging interpretation, and radiologists’ collaborative participation in care planning can help to catch errors, experts wrote recently.
While the studies on these systems have proven them to be effective in diagnosing and treating COVID in specific cohorts, the varying settings in which they were used can make it difficult to derive definitive conclusions on their efficacy.
A new study utilizing multi-organ MRI scans recently identified organ impairment in 62% of COVID long haulers six months after their initial diagnosis; 29% of these individuals continued to display damage in at least one organ at the 12-month mark.
Quantifiable features of medical images such as pixel intensity, arrangement, color and texture—in a word, radiomics—can help radiologists improve diagnostic accuracy.
Patients who are vaccinated at the time of their COVID-19 diagnosis appear to face a lower risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes than patients who are not vaccinated.
