Researchers out of Rutgers University in New Jersey have used artificial intelligence (AI) to anticipate when patients may present with atrial fibrillation (AFib), heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions, sharing their findings in Genomics.

Google’s medically focused generative artificial intelligence model achieved 85% accuracy on a U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) practice test, the highest score ever recorded by an AI model, according to preliminary results shared by the Google Health AI team.

The typical chest CT patterns seen in COVID-19 patients were far less frequent in individuals infected with Omicron and in the vaccinated, a retrospective multicenter study from France showed.

Advanced imaging came up short overall in patients with heart failure (HF) who required further definition of ischemia or viability, although select patients seemed to see some benefit, according to the AIMI-HF trial.

A group of researchers was recently able to determine reference values for anatomical and functional parameters in the heart of adolescents thanks to a new dataset of cardiac MRI exams. Experts involved in the work suggest that their achievement will have significant clinical implications, as there is limited MR imaging data on healthy adolescent hearts...

An investigational PET imaging agent, identified clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with high sensitivity and specificity, according to results from the phase III ZIRCON trial.

Immediate complete revascularization was non-inferior to staged complete revascularization in patients who presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel disease, according to BIOVASC trial findings.

Acute myocarditis has been identified as a potentially harmful side effect of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. It is rare enough, however, that cardiologists and cardiology societies still largely agree that the benefits associated with vaccination far outweigh the risks.

A new atrial fibrillation (Afib; AF) technology, pulsed field ablation, appears to eliminate abnormal heart rhythms in most patients for at least a year, a researcher reported here.

The FDA has updated its mammography regulations, with the key amendment requiring facilities to provide information to patients regarding the density of their breasts.The amendments, issued under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA), provide specific language explaining how breast density can influence the accuracy of mammography, and recommend that patients with dense breasts talk to...
