A study published today in the journal Circulation showed that a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scan is as accurate as an angiogram in diagnosing the causes of heart failure in patients with dilated ...

For decades, the coronary angiogram has been considered the gold standard for detecting blocked arteries that cause a heart attack. When patients are told their angiogram is “normal”, it often brings ...

Functional coronary angiography significantly reduced cardiovascular events and improved safety compared with conventional ...

Giving CT angiogram scans to people coming to the emergency room with chest pain could improve the speed of heart attack detection and lower costs, a research study has found. Among the findings were ...

Also, researchers looked at two pathways to manage high-sensitivity cardiac troponin measu ...

DALLAS, – High-resolution magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may offer a risk-free way to identify narrowed vein grafts after bypass surgery, according to a report in today’s Circulation: Journal of ...

MUNICH — Adding CT coronary angiography (CTCA) to standard care in patients with stable chest pain leads to a significant reduction in rates of death from coronary heart disease (CHD) or nonfatal ...

MUNICH, Germany—Some are hailing the 5-year results from SCOT-HEART, showing that a chest-pain workup strategy using coronary CT angiography (CTA) is superior to standard care, as the most powerful, ...

A new study found that a non-invasive, AI enabled Coronary Computer Tomography Angiography effectively identified stenosis equally well or better than the conventional gold standard of invasive ...

Cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) includes coronary CT angiography (CTA) as well as using CT technology to assess disease of the cardiac valves, aorta and pericardium. This examination requires ...

A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from ...
