May 17th, 2021 - The widespread clinical application of coronary cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) angiography (CMRA) for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited due to low scan efficiency leading to prolonged and unpredictable acquis...

May 17th, 2021 - Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) allows non-ionizing visualization of luminal narrowing in coronary artery disease (CAD). Although a prior study showed the usefulness of CMRA for risk stratification in short-term follow-up, the long-...

May 17th, 2021 - Capecitabine has been more recognized for its cardiotoxicity with an incidence that varies widely. It demonstrates its toxicity in the forms of acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias and, to a lesser extent, cardiomyopathy. There are several propose...

May 17th, 2021 - Medication refill behavior in patients with cardiovascular diseases is suboptimal. Brief behavioral interventions called Nudges may impact medication refill behavior and can be delivered at scale to patients using text messaging. Patients who were...

May 17th, 2021 - Background Resistive reserve ratio (RRR), or the ratio of baseline to hyperemic microvascular resistance, has prognostic implications in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. However, its value in patie...

May 7th, 2021 - Coronary atherosclerotic disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity due to major cardiovascular events in the United States and abroad. Risk stratification and early preventive measures can reduce major cardiovascular events given the l...

Nov 10th, 2020 - Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is a well-validated non-invasive imaging tool with an ever-expanding array of applications beyond the assessment of coronary artery disease. These include the evaluation of structural heart diseases, congen...

Nov 6th, 2020 - Patients with acute nonspecific chest pain and low probability for coronary disease remain an important clinical management dilemma. We focus on evidence for imaging, in an integrated decision-making setting. The American College of Radiology Appr...

Oct 14th, 2020 - Incidental coronary and cardiac calcification are frequent findings on non-gated thoracic CT. We recommend that the heart is reviewed on all CT scans where it is visualised. Coronary artery calcification is a marker of coronary artery disease and ...

May 9th, 2021 - The more complicated a primary endpoint, the greater a puzzle it can be for clinicians to interpret the results. It's likely even tougher for patients, who don't help choose the events studied in clinical trials yet are increasingly sharing in the...

Apr 28th, 2021 - Takeaway Women with diabetes, especially those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), had an increased risk of heart failure (HF) than men with diabetes. The increased risk cannot be explained solely by the higher prevalence of coronary artery dise...

Apr 4th, 2021 - Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. Long COVID worries me. The vastness of its symptoms, the uncertainty of its causes, and the immense attention it gets provide a setup for medical ...

Mar 22nd, 2021 - Use of a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor was associated with a lower risk for death and cardiovascular events than alprostadil for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men with stable coronary artery disease in a large Swedish regist...

Feb 28th, 2021 - Atherosclerosis, in addition to causing coronary artery disease, affects the different noncoronary arterial territories, from the upper limbs and the extracranial carotid artery through the thoracic and abdominal aorta to the mesenteric arteries, ...
