Structural heart disease is just one of the many areas where cardiac CT is expected to expand in the near future.

Incidental lung findings can help identify TAVR patients who may require additional follow-up care after treatment. 

The two companies want to spread the word about how daily habits can influence cardiovascular health.

Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio both provide substantial value when evaluating a patient's risk of developing heart disease. “It is time to abandon a sole focus on BMI,” as Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, explained. 

The VueJect ultrasound contrast delivery system was designed to improve workflow efficiency and provide consistency from one user to the next.

Dimitrios Bliagos, MD, specializes in treating challenging patients. If they get turned away elsewhere, he says, he wants the opportunity to step in and make a difference.

Robert L. Frye, MD, spent more than 60 years with Mayo Clinic. He was also a former president of the American College of Cardiology.

After certain radiopharmaceutical treatments, patients must adhere to strict and detailed precautions to protect themselves and others from radiation exposure. 

The merger will result in the integration of Varex’s X-ray tubes, digital detectors and other technologies into Teledyne’s growing medical imaging portfolio.
