For patients referred for evaluation of stable angina, a tiered protocol progressing from calcium scans to CT angiography (CTA) to CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) appears to be a viable ...

Symptomatic people with evidence of coronary artery disease on imaging significantly benefited from statin use while those without did not.

Existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculators appear to be inadequate, noted researchers led by ...

Measuring levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I may be useful to determine if a patient with coronary artery disease has a low risk for myocardial ischemia, according to a study published in ...

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a heterogeneous disorder characterised by persistent, abnormal eosinophil elevation in blood and tissues, with multisystem involvement. Cardiac manifestations are ...

Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply. The ...

Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is one of the most serious heart problems people can face. It happens when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked.
