When heart patients are diagnosed with severe AS, how quickly do they need to undergo TAVR? That was the focus of a new analysis published in Open Heart.
Accessing cardiology data for research or population health initiatives is still quite difficult in Europe. Could this new project help reverse that trend?
Case Western Reserve University recently scored a $1.125 million grant from the National Science Foundation to help fuel its work, with a focus on MRI.
Researchers examined data from more than 21,000 patients treated from 1997 to 2018, publishing their findings in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
“Cardiothoracic imaging continues to evolve, fueled by technical innovations such as dynamic chest radiography, digital tomosynthesis and dark-field radiography," one radiologist said.
Asian patients are rarely represented in large TAVR trials, the authors wrote, so they focused on nearly 1,200 patients from South Korea to provide a fresh perspective.
