Vascular MRI also depicts musculoskeletal manifestations in giant-cell arteritis-polymyalgia rheumatica spectrum disease patients
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
To evaluate the incremental value of contrast-enhanced vascular MRI for also detecting inflammatory musculoskeletal manifestations in patients with GCA-PMR spectrum disease (GPSD). Methods: T1-weighted contrast-enhanced volume interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE)-sequences of the torso of 78 patients...
Clinical likelihood models calibrated against observed obstructive coronary artery disease on computed tomography angiography
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Models predicting the likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on invasive coronary angiography exist. However, as stable patients with new-onset chest pain frequently have lower clinical likelihood and preferably undergo index testing by non-invasive tests such as coronary computed tomography...
Transluminal attenuation gradient derived from coronary CT angiography predicts anastomosis occlusion in coronary artery bypass grafts: a retrospective cohort study
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and poses a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems and patients alike [1, 2–3]. For patients with severe multivessel disease, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents an effective revascularization...
AI-driven carotid artery compressibility assessment via point-of-care ultrasound for blood pressure estimation in critically ill and post-resuscitation patients: a prospective observational study
Cardiovascular Imaging 6 min.
Accurate and timely assessment of blood pressure is fundamental to the management of critically ill patients [1]. In the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit, blood pressure serves as a core physiological marker, guiding fluid resuscitation, vasopressor use, and decisions about organ support...
Prospective multicenter evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT and strain for early cardiotoxicity detection in lymphoma patients
Cardiovascular Imaging 5 min.
Advancements in cancer treatment have highlighted the significance of treatment-related toxicity for patient quality of life, morbidity, and mortality [1, 2–3]. Anthracyclines (ANT) are a leading cause of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction...
