In the past few years, concern has skyrocketed from interventional cardiologists and cath lab staff over radiation dose exposure from the angiographic X-ray imaging systems. This is partly due to accumulation of study data showing the impact of radiation exposure on the job, with interventional cardiologists having higher rates of left-sided brain tumors, skin cancer, posterior subcapsular lens changes (a precursor to cataracts), thyroid disease and neuro-degenerative disease.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has concluded that insufficient evidence exists to make a recommendation on whether to screen for lipid disorders in children and adolescents 20 years old or younger.
The task force made its determination after reviewing two evidence reports that found no direct evidence of benefits or harms for childhood lipid screening for multifactorial dyslipidemia and familial hypercholesterolemia.

Despite successful reperfusion after large myocardial infarction, bioabsorbable cardiac matrix did not reduce adverse left ventricular remodeling or cardiac events, according to data published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
In PRESERVATION I (Prevention of Remodeling of the Ventricle and Congestive Heart Failure After Acute Myocardial Infarction) clinical trial, Sunil V. Rao, MD, of the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, North Carolina, and colleagues compared bioabsorbable cardiac matrix against saline to analyze left ventricle dilation and adverse events between baseline and six months.

Despite the fact that ischemic coronary artery disease is the most common cause of heart failure, most patients with heart failure are not tested for it, researchers reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. "This is relevant, not only because ischemic coronary artery disease represents a potentially treatable (or reversible) cause of heart failure, but also because the presence of coronary artery disease can be synergistically and independently associated with worsened long-term outcomes," Darshan Doshi, MD, MS, of the division of cardiology at the Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital and colleagues wrote.

In the largest national project to organize regional care for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the proportion of patients treated within guideline goals increased modestly but significantly, according to a new report published in the Aug. 2 issue of Circulation.
Under the Mission: Lifeline STEMI Systems Accelerator project, a collaborative program between Duke Clinical Research Institute and the American Heart Association, 484 hospitals and 1,253 emergency medical service agencies in 16 U.S. geographic regions participated in an effort to organize coordinated regional reperfusion plans.

Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy with regional anesthesia appear to have a comparable risk for periprocedural myocardial infarction compared with those who undergo carotid artery stenting. However, carotid endarterectomy with general anesthesia doubled the risk for myocardial infarction compared with carotid artery stenting, according to a new analysis of the CREST trial.
