Training on virtual 'patient' improves carotid angiography skills
Cardiologists can learn to perform risky catheter procedures such as carotid angiography on a virtual patient simulator, rather than on real patients, according to a new study in the May 2, 2006, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2006-04-28)
New cardiac MRI pinpoints closed arteries without surgery
A new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique can noninvasively demonstrate blockage of the coronary arteries with high diagnostic accuracy, according to a study featured in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
New research explores limits of non-invasive coronary imaging tests
If multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) shows that a patient has plaque build-up in the artery walls, does it also mean that there is actual reduced blood flow in the artery\\\ view more (2006-12-12)

Novel Non-Invasive Imaging Technology May Allow Precise Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease, Treatment Tailoring
A study focusing on a new non-invasive imaging technology—one that may enable more precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease and treatment tailoring in individual patients—was released by Israeli researchers at SNM's 53rd Annual Meeting June 3—7 in San Diego. view more (2006-06-08)
Patients who receive drug-eluting stents should continue antiplatelet medications
Patients who have had drug-eluting stents inserted to prop open blocked coronary arteries should continue to take medications to reduce the risk of blood clots for at least one year after the stent is inserted, a new scientific advisory recommends. view more (2007-01-17)
