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.
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.
According to new research published in the American Journal of Cardiology, complex CAD appears to affect long-term TAVR outcomes much more for women than it does for men.
