International study of more than 19,000 patients finds substantial differences in radiation exposure from coronary artery disease imaging across modalities, regions, and income levels.
Adding low-dose rivaroxaban to dual antiplatelet therapy following anterior myocardial infarction did not reduce cardiac MRI–detected left ventricular thrombus at 1 month and increased minor bleeding in a 560-patient randomized trial.
A morning BP rise of over 10 mmHg independently predicts left ventricular hypertrophy—accounting for 36.2% of LVMI variability, even after adjusting for age and BMI.
A study presented at RSNA 2024 demonstrated findings at midlife, decades prior to patients exhibiting early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease related dementia.
Total apoB particle count and Lp(a) levels best reflect coronary artery disease risk, with researchers noting that lipid-related atherosclerotic risk is most accurately reflected by the total count of apoB-P.
