Stress Echocardiography Safe for ED Triage of Chest Pain
A smaller proportion of patients undergoing stress echocardiography were hospitalized, with shorter lengths of stay than coronary computed tomography angiography.
Angiography
FDA: Increased Image Artifact in MRA With Neurovascular Embolization Coils
When magnetic resonance angiography is performed in patients with neurovascular embolization coils that contain 304V stainless steel, an increased image artifact may occur.
Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetes: Disease Extent Similar in Women, Men
Both men and women with type 1 diabetes had similar extent of coronary artery disease when admitted for coronary angiography.
Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: Sodium Bicarbonate vs Sodium Chloride
Intravenous sodium bicarbonate is not superior to intravenous sodium chloride for reducing acute kidney injury during angiography.
CCTA Associated With Decreased MI Incidence in Suspected Coronary Artery Disease
For patients with CAD, CCTA is associated with reduced incidence of myocardial infarction but no reduction in death or hospitalization.
Positron Emission Tomography Offers Diagnostic Value in Myocardial Ischemia
When compared with other imaging modalities, positron emission tomography offers the greatest diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease.
Left Ventricular Mass Index in CHD Predicts Mortality, Revascularization Need
Left ventricular mass index predicts mortality and revascularization in patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography.
CCTA Shows Diagnostic Accuracy Post-Vascular Scaffold Implantation
Coronary computed tomography angiography is an accurate method of assessing angiographic outcomes after bioresorbable vascular scaffold implantation.
Major Cardiovascular Events in Diabetes Predicted Coronary CT Angiography
CCTA-detected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) improves prediction of MACE in patients with type 2 diabetes.
CV Events, Death in Diabetes vs No Diabetes Without Coronary Artery Disease
Without obstructive coronary artery disease, adjusted risk of death, cardiac death, and myocardial infarction was the same in patients with or without diabetes.
