This case highlights the use of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of chronic constrictive pericarditis (CP) in a 37-year-old male with a history of T-wave inversions on electrocardiogram (ECG). The patient underwent adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) due to suspicion of coronary artery disease (CAD). CMR revealed findings suggestive of chronic CP, including pericardial thickening and septal shudder, with computed tomography (CT) confirming the presence of pericardial calcification.

- Patients with a history of prior myocardial infarction (pMI) have worse outcomes compared to those without pMI when dealing with ischaemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
- In a study involving 2,075 patients, it was found that those with pMI experienced higher all-cause mortality, greater event rates for death or shock from an ICD, and a more significant decline in mobility and overall health status after one year.
- These findings suggest that patients with ischaemic HFrEF and a history of pMI are at a higher risk, indicating a need for more specialized care for this subgroup.
Background: For patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), direct coronary angiography (CA) is recommended, while for non-AMI patients, the diagnostic work-up depends on clinical criteria. This analysis provides initial prospective German data for the degree of guideline-adherence (GL) in the use of CA on non-AMI patients presenting at the emergency department (ED) with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to the 2015 ESC-ACS-GL. Furthermore the implications of the application of the 2020 ESC-ACS-GL recommendations were evaluated.

However, diagnosis of distinct types of lung pathology is difficult.The aim of this study was to investigate pulmonary edema by transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and the correlation to downtimes.

However, a disadvantage is the associated radiation exposure to the patient which depends in part on the scan range. This study aimed to develop a deep neural network to optimize the delimitation of scan ranges in CT localizers to reduce the radiation dose.
