Article Synopsis
- Doctors do CT scans of the chest and abdomen before a heart procedure called TAVI to check for hidden health issues, including potentially dangerous growths.
- In a study of 1,081 patients who had TAVI, researchers looked at the effects of these hidden growths on survival rates.
- They found that while having these growths alone didn't make people more likely to die within a year, having both these growths and a past cancer increased the risk of dying significantly.*
