Routine exercise stress echocardiography may not be warranted in asymptomatic patients after coronary revascularization because even though it may identify those at high risk, this does not improve patient outcomes, according to a report published online May 14 in Archives of Internal... »
Showing Patients Their Coronary Calcium Scans Motivates Adherence
CHICAGO – Patients given a look at their coronary artery calcium CT scans are more likely to undertake cardiovascular risk reduction measures. Further, the more abnormal the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and its corresponding cardiac CT scan, the better the subsequent patient adherence with... »
Cardiac CT Trims Triage Time for ACS, but Not Costs
CHICAGO – Triaging chest-pain patients with cardiac CT angiography increased direct emergency room discharges and shortened hospital stays, but did not reduce costs, compared with a standard emergency department evaluation, in the prospective, randomized ROMICAT-II trial. There were no missed... »
