Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI was associated with lower long-term risk of cardiac death than an angiography-guided approach in patients with complex lesions, according to a single-center study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

Radiologists commonly overlook potentially important information about a patient’s heart health when they’re performing mammograms or CT scans before starting cancer treatment, according to research set to be presented at the American College of Cardiology’s scientific sessions March 16-18 in New Orleans.

The International Contrast Ultrasound Society (ICUS) is again urging the FDA to remove the “black box” warning from ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) labels, following its filing of a September 2018 citizen petition with the federal agency.

Electrocardiograms (ECG) acquired using a chest strap could be a quality alternative to traditional ECGs when used to diagnose atrial fibrillation (AF), researchers reported in the American Journal of Cardiology.

Researchers used T2 mapping taken from weekly cardiac MRIs to help identify cardiotoxicity at an early stage, according to results of a pig study published Feb. 18 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The findings could help cancer patients at risk of chemo-induced heart failure.

T2 mapping derived from weekly cardiac MRIs helped researchers identify cardiotoxicity at an early and reversible stage, a finding which may have implications for cancer patients at risk of chemotherapy-induced heart failure.
