Mashup Score: 5Extensive coronary artery calcification is associated with all-cause mortality patients with a history of cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Recent studies have shown a steady increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease among patients with cancer,1 with cardiovascular mortality overtaking cancer mortality in many cancer types.2 Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a robust predictor of future cardiovascular risk and increasing CAC category is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality.3 We performed a retrospective…

Mashup Score: 0Randomized comparison of chest pain evaluation with FFRCT or standard care: Factors determining US costs - 2 year(s) ago
FFRCT assesses the functional significance of lesions seen on CTCA, and may be a more efficient approach to chest pain evaluation. The FORECAST randomized trial found no significant difference in costs within the UK National Health Service, but implications for US costs are unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare costs in the FORECAST trial based on US healthcare cost weights, and to…

Mashup Score: 2Cardiac computed tomography in the contemporary evaluation of infective endocarditis - 2 year(s) ago
Increasing data have accumulated on the role of Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) in infective endocarditis (IE) with high accuracy for large vegetations, perivalvular complications and for exclusion of coronary artery disease to avoid invasive angiography. CCT can further help to clarify the etiology of infective prosthetic valve dysfunction (e.g. malposition, abscess, leak, vegetation or mass)….

Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) was created to standardize reporting system for patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and to guide possible next steps in patient management. The goal of this updated 2022 CAD-RADS 2.0 is to improve the initial reporting system for CCTA by considering new technical developments in Cardiac CT, including data from recent…
