- Editors' Corner | Broadening Insights: SCAD, Obesity, AI and MoreJust a decade ago, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) was an overlooked condition. In this month’s cover story, we learn it’s the most common cause of myocardial infarction (MI) in women younger than 50, accounting for as much as 35% of MIs in this group...
- Cover Story | Hidden in Plain Sight: SCAD as a Major Cause of MI in WomenThe 34-year-old woman arrived at the emergency department (ED) with crushing chest pain, diaphoresis and nausea. Her ECG showed ST-elevation in the anterior leads and her troponin levels were markedly elevated. She had no traditional cardiovascular risk factors and had delivered her second child six weeks earlier.
- New in Clinical Guidance | New ACC Guidance Addresses Obesity Treatment Strategies Across the CV Spectrum; MoreAs obesity continues to drive cardiovascular risk, the ACC has released two new guidance documents to support clinicians: Concise Clinical Guidance (CCG) on the medical management of obesity and a Scientific Statement focused on treating obesity in adults with heart failure.
- Cutting-Edge Structural Interventions | TAVR in Aortic Regurgitation: Is a "Dedicated" Device on the Horizon?For patients with severe, pure aortic regurgitation (AR) without significant stenosis, current guidelines from both the ACC and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommend surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in all operable patients.
- For the FITs | Navigating the Integration of AI in Cardiovascular ImagingAs cardiovascular medicine advances into the digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cardiac imaging at an unprecedented pace. This rapidly evolving integration presents both remarkable opportunities and significant challenges that will shape the career trajectories of emerging cardiologists.
