Abstract

Cardiac imaging modalities are essential for the management of cardiac diseases. Multimodality imaging, such as echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and fluoroscopy, is required for assessing cardiac condition. In recent years, fusion imaging, which integrates different imaging modalities on the same screen, has been developed. Because the fusion imaging is able to merge the advantages of each modality, it has the potential to be valuable for accurate diagnosis as well as the planning of therapeutic strategies. In the clinical setting, the fusion imaging of real-time transthoracic echocardiography with cardiac CT displayed side by side has reportedly been effective for the diagnosis and the assessment of disease severity in patients with adult congenital heart disease. The overlay of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography onto fluoroscopy, which is dynamic fusion imaging, has been used for structural heart disease interventions. The fusion imaging has become increasingly important in the field of cardiac diseases. This review discusses the benefits of echocardiographic fusion imaging.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.

"Stammzell-Pflaster" gegen geschwächte Herzen: Hoffnung oder Hype?

Eine Nature-Publikation zur Behandlung der Herzinsuffizienz mit von Stammzellen abgeleiteten Herzzellen sorgt in Publikumsmedien für Wirbel. Deren Erkenntnisse sind in der Tat spektakulär – und gleichzeitig vorläufig und ernüchternd.
