Hemi-Ellipsoid Formula Improves Carotid Plaque Volume Assessment

January 2026

The researchers found that carotid plaque volume derived using the hemi-ellipsoid approach provided a more sensitive tool for evaluating plaque severity and monitoring progression over time compared with diameter or area stenosis alone.

Valve Implant Shows Durable Outcomes Beyond Five Years

Across medium- and long-term follow-up, no patients developed valve stenosis or severe pulmonary regurgitation.

ECG Noise Filtering Improves Clinical Accuracy

ECG Noise Filtering Improves Clinical Accuracy

Adaptive ECG noise filtering preserved QT and QRS intervals better than conventional approaches by tailoring filters to noise presence and type.

Heart Rate Recovery Predicts Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction Risk

Impaired heart rate recovery is a powerful new marker for predicting periprocedural myocardial infarction in elective PCI patients.

Low Physical Activity Drives Heart Attack Risk

Global and genetic analyses link low physical activity to rising heart disease mortality, while higher activity levels appear to reduce myocardial infarction risk.

Acute Effects of Left Atrial Appendage Closure - EMJ

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Increases Acute Atrial Pressure

Left atrial appendage closure causes a short-term rise in atrial pressure, but no adverse changes in heart structure or biomarkers were seen during follow-up.
