Side effect of popular Alzheimer's treatment may actually be a good sign, new PET findings suggest

Amyloid-related imaging abnormality edema is a known side effect of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody treatments, such as Leqembi and donanemab Kisunla.  

Michael Honigberg, MD, MPP, a preventive cardiologist and cardiovascular researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, explains how preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy can elevate cardiovascular risks later in life and how to best manage these patients.

How hypertension during pregnancy impacts a woman's long-term cardiovascular health

Emerging research suggests that the early postpartum period may represent a critical window for influencing a woman's long-term cardiovascular health. 

AI-powered MRI evaluations predict STEMI outcomes better than existing risk scores

Researchers found that their advanced machine learning model consistently outperformed current risk stratification techniques.

TAVR linked to higher reintervention rate than SAVR in Evolut Low Risk trial update

The Evolut Low Risk trial has been one of cardiology’s most closely watched studies for years now. For the first five years after treatment, TAVR and SAVR were associated with comparable outcomes when treating low-risk patients. In this new six-year update, however, TAVR was linked to a heightened risk of reintervention not seen with SAVR. 

Researchers in the U.K. from Newcastle University, University of Leeds, and the University of East Anglia found they could use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2 intracardiac blood pool data to create imaging-derived SvO2 (iSvO2) noninvasively.

MRI scans evaluate heart failure risk—no invasive catheterization required

Advanced imaging may be able to help certain heart patients avoid the risks and discomfort associated with right heart catheterizations.
