Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans.
Researchers asked ChatGPT to make treatment decisions for patients with severe aortic stenosis, comparing its answers to the recommendations of a full heart team.
The three-day event will include sessions about sexual activity among heart patients, depression, energy drinks, stimulants, vaccines and more. The festivities begin Thursday, April 25, in Greece.
“The alleged conduct of this physician is so egregious, only the permanent revocation of his license could adequately protect the public from the risks posed by his return to practice," one official said.
The FDA granted the first pediatric indication for an implantable cardiac monitor. The Linq II can be used in pediatric patients over the age of 2 for up to 4.5 years of long-term, continuous monitoring.
Comparison between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) devices found Pascal was non-inferior compared with MitraClip in the CLASP IID pivotal trial.
The UNIVERSAL Trial, one of the largest multicenter randomized trials comparing ultrasound with fluoroscopic guidance vs. fluoroscopic guidance alone, found there was no reduction in major vascular access complications.
Results from the Medtronic SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial long-term results and the pivotal RADIANCE II trial for the Recor ultrasound renal denervation system lowered blood pressure effectively in drug-resistant patients.
Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."
Philips introduced a new CT system at ECR aimed at the rapidly growing cardiac CT market, incorporating numerous AI features to optimize workflow and image quality.
![Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models can evaluate cardiovascular risk in routine chest CT scans without contrast, according to new research published in Nature Communications.[1] In fact, the authors noted, the AI approach may be more effective at identifying issues than relying on guidance from radiologists.
