Article Synopsis

Low-dose chest CT, commonly used for lung cancer screening, also detects coronary artery disease by identifying coronary artery calcium.
In a study of 1486 high-risk lung cancer patients, 82.9% had coronary artery calcium, with 29.5% showing extensive levels.
Extensive coronary artery calcium significantly predicted higher risks of all-cause death and cardiovascular events, highlighting the potential benefits of lung cancer screenings for detecting heart health issues.

The prognostic value of atrial thrombi (AT) among elective patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) referred for a rhythm control strategy is unclear. In this study, clinical variables were correlated with the presence of AT and long term survival among 205 patients submitted to transesophageal echocardiography before elective AF cardioversion or ablation. Atrial thrombi were present in 7.
