The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) released updated guidelines for using CT imaging in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

With a recently awarded $3.2 million R01 grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) in Ohio plan to study how neuroimaging can help pinpoint risk factors of stroke recurrence, according to a recent university press release.

A multi-institutional team of researchers found that emergency department (ED) utilization of chest imaging has grown substantially in the U.S. over the last two decades and is likely due to an increased availability of CT scanners and increased pressure on ED physicians to rapidly triage patients, according to a study published Jan. 2 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Physicians performing coronary angiography on obese patients are exposed to seven times the amount of radiation than when they performed the procedure on those with a normal body weight, according to a Jan. 2 study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.

Researchers from Imperial College London are teaming up with Bayer Pharmaceuticals to see if artificial intelligence (AI) could accelerate the discovery of new, effective drugs for cardiovascular disease and other heart-related conditions, according to a recent news release.

A team of international researchers found using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to determine which patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) would benefit from invasive angiography can reduce costly invasive procedures while achieving similar accuracy to other methods.

Carotid pulse wave velocity (PVW) measured with ultrafast ultrasound at the end of systole (PWV-ES) may be a better biomarker of carotid stiffness in diabetic patients than PWV measured at the beginning of systole, according to a new study.

With the development of a new three-dimensional (3D) printing workflow, researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University in Boston may help cardiologists produce more proficient implantable heart valves and determine how different sized valves interact for each patient before surgical intervention for aortic valve replacement, according to a Dec. 10 report by the 3D Printing Media Network.
