John Carroll, MD, director of interventional cardiology and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, explains the state of  transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) to prevent stroke.

As the population of patients with adult congenital heart disease grows, they are presenting to adult cardiology clinics and being imaged with CT. Many also do not have access or cannot be imaged by MRI, said Renee Bullock-Palmer, MD.

The statement was written to fill gaps in recommendations from prior consensus statements and guidelines in regards to the use of CCT in cardio-oncology, including use of calcium scoring and ruling out coronary disease when cardiac function is impaired.

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. 

A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can more rapidly and objectively determine calcium scores in CT and PET/CT images than physicians.

Joao Cavalcante, MD, director, cardiac MRI and structural CT labs, Minneapolis Heart Institute, discusses the use of cardiac CT imaging to plan and guide structural heart procedures. 

Progestin-only products may be a "safer alternative" for this patient population, according to a new analysis. 

Erin D. Michos, MD, co-editor in chief of the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology, discusses gender differences in heart disease presentations.
