Cardiac imaging for risk stratification in diabetes.
World wide, 200 million individuals currently have diabetes, and projections by the World Health Organisation suggest that its prevalence will exceed 300 million by 2025 and 360 million by 2030. More than 90% of these individuals will have type 2 diabetes. Management guidelines in Europe and the USA consider type 2 diabetes to be a cardiovascular disease equivalent. These patients have a 2–4-fo...
متن کاملCardiac surgery risk-stratification models
Risk models are widely used to predict outcomes after cardiac surgery. Not only is risk modelling applied in the assessment of the relative impact of specific risk factors on surgical outcomes, but also in patient counselling, the selection of treatment options, comparison of postoperative results, and quality-improvement programmes. At least 19 risk-stratification models exist for open-heart s...
متن کاملManaging patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: need to shift emphasis from risk stratification to risk modification.
Many patients undergo non-invasive testing for the detection of coronary artery disease before non-cardiac surgery. This is despite the low predictive value of positive tests in this population and the lack of any evidence of benefit of coronary revascularisation before non-cardiac surgical procedures. Further, this strategy often triggers a clinical cascade exposing the patient to progressivel...
متن کاملNon-invasive risk stratification of patients with TTR amyloidosis
Methods 30 patients (21 male, 9 female; median age 69.5 years) with diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis (wild-type n=13, hereditary n=17) were evaluated by cardiac MRI (CMR; Achieva Intera Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands), and Technetium-DPD scintigraphy. EDV, ESV, EF and myocardial mass were analyzed on a standard workstation (Philips Viewforum). Longitudinal function was assessed by m...
متن کاملCardiac Magnetic Resonance Scar Imaging for Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Stratification in Patients with Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
In patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) and selection of patients who would benefit from prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators remains challenging. We aim to discuss the evidence of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived myocardial scar for the prediction of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in NICM. From the 15 stud...
