Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation of Cardiac Tumors: Updated 2021 WHO Tumor Classification.

Cardiac tumors, although rare, carry high morbidity and mortality rates. They are commonly first identified either at echocardiography or incidentally at thoracoabdominal CT performed for noncardiac indications. Multimodality imaging often helps to determine the cause of these masses.

Bend but don't break: Experience of a diverse New York City lung cancer screening program during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rationale And Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the national shutdown and subsequent reopening of cancer screening programs. Our diverse inner-city lung cancer screening program serves patients in the Bronx NY, which was severely affected by COVID-19, with the highest mortality in New York State in the spring of 2020. Staffing redeployment, quarantine protocols, increased safety measures, and changes in follow up resulted.

Feasibility of high-intensity interval training in patients with left ventricular assist devices: a pilot study.

Aims: Patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) suffer from persistent exercise limitation despite improvement of their heart failure syndrome. Exercise training (ET) programmes to improve aerobic capacity have shown modest efficacy. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), as an alternative to moderate continuous training, has not been systematically tested in this population.

Comparison Between Anatomical and Functional Imaging Modalities for Evaluation of Chest Pain in the Emergency Department.

Evaluation of chest pain in the emergency department (ED) frequently employs a noninvasive strategy, including coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), stress echocardiography (SE), or myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). We sought to report the real-world experience of utilizing CCTA compared with SE and MPI at an urban hospital ED. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutively enrolled patients presenting with chest pain who had normal or nondiagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG), negative initial troponin-T, at least intermediate risk based on modified Diamond-Forrester criteria, and who underwent CCTA, SE, or MPI based on their individual test eligibility criteria.
