Former European Society of Cardiology president Prof. Jeroen Bax explains the difficulty in quantifying these plaques manually and how artificial intelligence may change this to allow rapid, detailed quantitative analysis. 

Adults that received three doses of an mRNA COVID vaccine were 2.6 times as likely to be hospitalized if they also had high blood pressure. 

Eating a potassium-rich diet can help women lower their blood pressure and reduce their risk of cardiovascular events by a significant margin, according to a new study of more than 25,000 adults.

Allan Lansing, MD, PhD, performed the first coronary artery bypass in the state of Kentucky. He also volunteered to help patients all over the world and was publicly honored by President George H. W. Bush in 1991. 

New artificial intelligence software that can evaluate coronary CT scans to automatically assess soft plaques were by far the biggest technology advance discussed at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 2022 meeting. 

Within hours of Amazon announcing its intention to acquire healthcare provider One Medical for $3.9 billion in cash, lawmakers took aim at the retail giant to pursue blocking the deal.

“The value of MRI added to CT in patients such as these should not be presumed."
