Eating unsalted peanuts improves the brain's vascular health

Consistently incorporating unsalted peanuts into a person’s diet enhances cerebral blood flow to multiple brain regions. 

Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, director, cardiovascular imaging, physiology and translational therapeutics, Cardiovascular Research Foundation, explains how noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) assessments will play a major role to eliminate invasive diagnostic angiography and to pre-plan percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.

Noninvasive coronary CT angiography is growing more and more important as time goes on, helping cardiologists make critical treatment decisions. Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, discussed the technique's potential to be a real game-changer for patient care in a new interview.

Innovation at work

Six years ago, two radiologists with dissimilar backgrounds and divergent clinical interests put their heads together and launched a new practice.

A growing number of private insurers are now covering these advanced technologies. Roosha Parikh, MD, told Cardiovascular Business that the hard work of SCCT and other groups has helped make this happen. 

Customers are urged to stop using these devices right away.

Researchers used AI-enabled software developed by Cleerly to evaluate the CCTA results of more than 6,000 patients. The software was consistently effective, identifying patients who may face an increased risk of poor outcomes.
