Diagnosis & Disease Information
Screening and Diagnosis of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are likely to be encountered in the primary care setting, making appropriate diagnosis and management indispensable.
AHA/ACC: Updated Management Guidelines for Adult Congenital Heart Disease
The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association developed updated guidelines on the evaluation, management, and monitoring of adults with congenital heart disease.
Noninvasive coronary testing may prevent need for future invasive tests
Low-risk acute coronary syndrome patients may require fewer referrals for invasive coronary angiography if they had initial noninvasive testing such as stress echocardiography or cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Cardiac workup for patients with diabetes
Are more aggressive approaches to cardiac work up warranted in patients with diabetes?
Comparing methods of calculating ejection fraction
How does the ejection fraction (EF) calculated during the sestamibi imaging of a cardiac stress test correlate with an EF measured with a two-dimensional cardiogram?
Imaging procedures increase cancer risk
Documenting procedures and tracking exposure may help clinicians estimate patients’ risk.
Heart failure therapy more effective in certain populations
Women experienced greater reductions in HF and death after CRT-D than men.
A practical guide to heart-failure diagnosis
Characterized by impaired myocardial performance, heart failure is often misdiagnosed. Clinicians should focus on prevention and early detection
Diffusion-weighted MRI recommended for acute ischemic stroke diagnosis
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) sponsored a systemic literature review to address the utility of diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI in diagnosis and prognosis for acute ischemic stroke.
