AI algorithms show moderate to severe aortic stenosis may portend poor outcomes
Patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis had similar outcomes to patients with severe aortic stenosis, whereas those with moderate aortic stenosis were comparable to those with mild aortic stenosis, researchers reported.
Implementation of FFR-CT program at national level tied to improved outcomes at 2 years
Implementation of a CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve program on a national level was associated with reduced risk for mortality and fewer downstream CV tests at 2 years, according to the results of the FISH&CHIPS study.
Intravascular imaging improves PCI outcomes, but barriers to adoption remain
New data presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress indicate that use of intravascular imaging during PCI improves clinical outcomes, but the issue of adoption is complicated.
FFR-CT prognostic of long-term outcomes in patients with stable angina
Danish researchers reported that CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve was significantly prognostic of all-cause death and acute MI in patients with stable angina, especially those with high coronary calcium scores.
AI-identified CAC via routine CT scan may reveal risk for heart attack, stroke
Routine CT scans could serve as a useful tool to identify patients at high risk for atherosclerotic CVD when paired with a deep learning algorithm that calculated coronary artery calcium scores, researchers reported.
Resumption of elite-level sports ‘safe and feasible’ after COVID-19
Resumption of elite-level sports after recovery from COVID-19 is “safe and feasible,” according to a prospective study of Dutch athletes.
Increase in sedentary time in childhood linked to enlarged left ventricle later in life
In a longitudinal cohort study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, people who had greater amounts of sedentary time in childhood were more likely to have an increase in left ventricular mass as a young adult.
Intravascular imaging for PCI beneficial in several studies, meta-analysis
The use of intravascular imaging — OCT or IVUS — during PCI appears to reduce complications and produce overall better clinical outcomes than using angiography guidance, according to three studies and a meta-analysis.
