A study published in the journal Digital Medicine found a trained artificial intelligence (AI) platform classified echocardiogram views with 98 percent accuracy—outperforming board-certified cardiologists.

A team of international researchers showed that quantitative flow ratio (QFR) was feasible for testing coronary artery stenosis, and more accurate compared to traditional wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR), according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.

In a multiethnic cohort study published March 9 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, researchers found liver fibrosis may be strongly associated with a patient's history of heart failure, atrial fibrillation or coronary heart disease.

A recent study published in the April 2018 issue of Radiology optimized a four-step approach to accurately detect hemodynamically significant intermediate-stenosis lesions, which outperformed coronary CT angiography. Researchers also found using coronary contrast opacification variations to estimate blood flow distribution may improve CT fractional flow reserve accuracy.

Patients with multiple acute infarction patterns may benefit the most from dual antiplatelet therapy compared to others who have experienced a minor stroke, according to a recent study of imaging data published online March 26 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Silicon Valley-based Heartflow and medical imaging experts from the Imperial College London have announced a collaboration to develop a noninvasive method to detect coronary artery blockages by producing 3D images of the heart.

Just 22-years-old and a CEO of a biotech company, Peeyush Shrivastava aims for the remarkable, regardless of age. He hopes to engineer a 3D scanner capable of diagnosing heart disease in 90 seconds.

A pair of studies published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found two novel forms of cardiac MRI that may accurately detect microvascular coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiac microvascular dysfunction (CMD), according to a recent article by Cardiovascular Business.
