The adverse effects of metabolic disorder on left ventricular myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency and dysfunction in ischemic cardiomyopathy: insight from a cardiac MRI study
Cardiovascular Imaging 5 min.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is the most common cause of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and is also the leading causes of premature death worldwide [1, 2–3]. Previous global burden analysis of risk factors has indicated that metabolic risk factors (MetF) are the leading drivers...
A clinician's guide to cardiovascular MRI referrals: a practical guide of ESC recommendations
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is a noninvasive cardiac imaging modality with an increasing number of applications in cardiovascular medicine. The growth in its clinical indications is evident from the expanding recommendations by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The year 2024 marked...
Factors influencing re-bleeding after trans-arterial embolization for endoscopically unmanageable peptic ulcer bleeding
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Acute peptic ulcer bleeding is the most common cause of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). Endoscopic hemostasis is the standard treatment. However, various conditions complicate endoscopic hemostasis. Transarterial visceral embolization (TAE) may be helpful as a rescue therapy. This...
Carotid ultrasound to identify head and neck cancer survivors with high cardiovascular risk after radiation therapy: rationale and design of a prospective, cross-sectional pilot study
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Radiation therapy is an integral component of treatment that can predispose to carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and increase the risk of cerebrovascular events for head and neck cancer survivors. The utility of screening for CAS with carotid ultrasound in asymptomatic head and neck cancer survivors is unclear....
Assessing anatomical variations of the superior mesenteric artery via three‐dimensional CT angiography and laparoscopic right hemicolectomy: a retrospective observational study
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
In recent years, the incidence of colon cancer has been increasing. With the development of laparoscopic techniques for gastrointestinal oncological surgery, the laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer has been increasingly used in clinical practice. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery...
