JAMA: PET best option to diagnose ischemic heart disease

By Wayne Forrest

A head-to-head comparison to determine the most accurate modality for diagnosing myocardial ischemia has found that PET outperforms SPECT, coronary CT angiography, and hybrid variations of the three modalities in patients with suspected coronary artery disease, according to a study published online August 16 in JAMA Cardiology.

3D-printed blood vessels reproduce patient clots

By Geoffrey Potjewyd

Dutch researchers have created a blood-vessel model that effectively replicates the formation of a blood clot caused by stenosis defects. The team developed a microfluidic blood-vessel model using layered stacks of CT angiography data combined with 3D printing.

CT CAC scoring tops age for predicting heart disease risk

By Erik L. Ridley

Is age just a number? Maybe, at least for predicting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events in older adults. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with CT is better than a patient's age for predicting risk -- particularly for coronary heart disease, according to research published online on July 26.

Zurich team moves ahead on heart replacements

By Frances Rylands-Monk

A Swiss group has developed a soft 3D-printed silicone heart that beats almost like a human heart. The technique, which uses CT images of a real patient to create a computer-aided design model in 3D, could provide tailor-made, soft artificial hearts in the future.

3D ultrasound quantifies subclinical atherosclerosis

By Erik L. Ridley

While detecting subclinical atherosclerosis is useful, quantifying the plaque burden is even more valuable. A 3D vascular ultrasound method can reliably perform this task and help estimate cardiovascular risk, according to research published in the 18 July issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
