Intracoronary imaging can guide heart attack treatment

By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers

Intracoronary imaging -- such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography -- can yield more precise diagnoses of heart attacks and be used to individualize patient treatment, according to an expert consensus paper published on 21 May in the European Heart Journal and presented this week at the EuroPCR meeting in Paris.

AI predicts myocardial infarction, death in patients at risk of CAD

By Erik L. Ridley

By analyzing clinical and hybrid imaging data, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can predict which patients will go on to experience myocardial infarction or death during long-term follow-up, according to research from Finland presented at this week's International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT in Lisbon.

AI-based FFR-CT software offers robust performance

By Erik L. Ridley

Different CT tube voltage levels didn't hinder the performance of a prototype artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for estimating fractional flow reserve on coronary CT angiography (FFR-CT), according to a study by a multinational research group published on 30 April in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

AI can help facilitate gadolinium-free cardiac MRI

By Erik L. Ridley

Chinese and U.K. investigators have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can detect chronic myocardial infarction on noncontrast-enhanced cardiac cine MRI. This might avoid the need for gadolinium-based contrast, according to an article posted online on 30 April in Radiology.

Conebeam CT mitigates cardiac motion during imaging

By Tami Freeman, PhD

Robotic C-arm conebeam CT helps guide interventional cardiac surgical procedures and can be valuable in radiotherapy, but the intrinsic motion of the beating heart causes blurring and image artifacts. A new technique can help overcome this limitation.

3D-bioprinted model mimics real human heart properties

By Abraham Kim

Researchers from Israel have created a 3D-printed model that captures the immunological, biochemical, cellular, and anatomical properties of a real human heart, according to an article published online on 15 April in Advanced Science.

London group finds AI can identify pacemakers on x-rays

By Erik L. Ridley

Researchers from Imperial College London in the U.K. found that artificial intelligence (AI) software can be used to identify cardiac rhythm devices such as pacemakers on x-rays. AI could therefore speed up the diagnosis and treatment of patients with faulty devices, according to the study published online on 27 March in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.

PET/MRI study links inflammation to atherosclerosis

By Wayne Forrest

In a novel study that tracked employees at a Spanish bank, researchers used PET/MRI to detect signs of atherosclerotic disease and inflammation in arterial regions that had not yet developed plaques. The finding could provide an early biomarker of future risk of heart attack and stroke.

MRI links brain activity to 'broken heart' syndrome

By Wayne Forrest

MRI results support a link between reduced communication in brain regions that process emotion and control the unconscious workings of the body and the development of a "broken heart," according to a study published online on 5 March in the European Heart Journal.
