No Gadolinium Contrast? No Problem with VNE August 20, 2026
The gold standard for spotting myocardial scarring requires injecting gadolinium contrast during cardiac MRI, which adds time, cost, and a barrier for patients who can't receive it. Now a new study suggests AI may replace that injection in some cases.

Just How Bad is BMI at Predicting CVD Risk? August 17, 2026
We all know BMI is pretty useless for predicting CV risk, and a new JACC analysis puts hard numbers on just how much it misses, including a high-risk group hiding in plain sight among "normal weight" patients.

More Interventional Cardiologists, More Low-Value Stents August 13, 2026
The old adage that "built capacity gets used" applies to cardiology too. A Lown Institute study found that regions with the most PCI-performing physicians lead to a disproportionately higher share of patients receiving stents they’re unlikely to benefit from.

How Earlier Hemodynamic Insight May Help Guide Heart Failure Management July 22, 2026
Heart failure continues to place a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system, with nearly 7 million Americans living with heart failure, with prevalence expected to reach nearly 9 million by 2030. Despite advances in guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), many patients still face high risks of hospitalization, mortality, and reduced quality of life.
