MR imaging spots silent but deadly cardiac conditions
Not all those who suffer heart attacks have typical symptoms. Many people, including the elderly, those with renal disease, and women, are at risk of having a silent myocardial infarction. People with diabetes, in particular, are among those at highest risk of experiencing a silent MI. Now there is... More »

MRI demonstrates heart morphology and function
Heart failure is a common disorder with high morbidity and mortality. It is the only major cardiovascular disease whose prevalence and incidence are not only on the increase but predicted to reach epidemic proportions. More »
In a changing world, outpatient practices embrace cardiac CT
Nonacademic private practice groups performing cardiovascular imaging studies have flourished during the past 30 years.

CTA revolutionizes treatment of peripheral vascular disease
We continue to be both amazed and intrigued by the hype showered on cardiac CT angiography and the corresponding lack of hype given to peripheral vascular CTA. No doubt, 64-slice cardiac or coronary CTA is potentially a revolutionizing technology, but PV-CTA has already revolutionized the... More »
Dual-source CT boosts patient flow, diagnostic confidence
In the past, a person with chest pain entering the emergency department at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania could spend up to six hours there before being discharged. More »
NIH workshop finds value in high-field cardiovascular MR
The first focused meeting on the use of 3T MR for cardiovascular applications convened under National Institutes of Health sponsorship last September. Luminaries in MR technology and applications met in Washington, DC, for two days under the leadership of National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and... More »
Multislice CT bolsters coronary plaque analysis
Acute coronary syndromes, especially acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death, are most often caused by the rupture or erosion of coronary atherosclerotic plaques. The plaque itself does not have to be associated with lumen narrowing. More »
Consensus remains elusive for best left ventricle test
Researchers may agree that cardiac MR is the modality of choice for predicting left ventricular remodeling, but they remain split on which contrast-enhanced CMR technique produces the most accurate prediction. More »
