Assessment of hemodynamic disturbances and impaired ventricular filling in asymptomatic fontan patients: A 4D flow CMR study.
Eur J Radiol Open
June 2025
Department of Radiology, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, 1678 Dong Fang Road, Shanghai 200127, PR China.
Background: The Fontan procedure is a surgical intervention designed for patients with single ventricle physiology, wherein the systemic venous return is redirected into the pulmonary circulation, thereby facilitating passive pulmonary blood flow without the assistance of ventricular propulsion. Consequently, long-term follow-up of individuals who have undergone the asymptomatic Fontan procedure is essential.
Objectives: The aims of this investigation were to: 1) examine the impact of flow components and kinetic energy (KE) parameters on hemodynamic disturbances in asymptomatic Fontan patients and control group; 2) Assess left ventricular diastolic dysfunction through the analysis of 4D flow parameters across different Fontan sub-groups; 3) Compare intracardiac flow parameters among Fontan sub-groups based on morphological features of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV).
Therapeutic use of music listening in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures: A meta-analysis.
World J Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Niramoy Hospital, Panchagarh 5010, Bangladesh.
Background: Listening to music has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety before, during, and after invasive coronary procedures.
Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the effect of therapeutic use of music on both, perioperative and postoperative outcomes of invasive coronary procedures.
Methods: An exhaustive literature search of 3 electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL) was conducted from inception until 10 December 2023.
Lung cancer screening program quality indicators - review & recommendations - An International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Delphi process study.
J Thorac Oncol
January 2025
Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich, Thoracic Oncology Centre Munich, German Centre for Lung Research, Munich, Germany.
Introduction: Lung cancer screening (LCS) using low-dose-computed tomography reduces lung cancer mortality in high-risk individuals. Evaluating and monitoring LCS programs are important to ensure and improve quality, efficiency and participant outcomes. There is no agreement on LCS quality indicators (QIs).

Congenital Pulmonary Vascular Anomalies and Disease.
Radiol Clin North Am
March 2025
Division of Cardiothoracic Imaging, Department of Radiology, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medical Center, 525 East 68th Street, New York, NY 10065, USA. Electronic address: https://twitter.com/JoannaEscalonMD.
Congenital pulmonary vascular disease is a daunting and diverse topic spanning both pulmonary arterial and venous anomalies. Given advancements in treatment, patients with congenital anomalies have longer life expectancies into adulthood and practicing radiologists are bound to come across these patients during their daily practice. Additionally, many anomalies are discovered incidentally on imaging, yet may still have implications for patient care.
