The Role of Imaging in Preventive Cardiology in Women. | LitMetric

The Role of Imaging in Preventive Cardiology in Women.

Curr Cardiol Rep

Cardiovascular Division (Department of Medicine), Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Published: February 2023

Purpose Of Review: The prevalence of CVD in women is increasing and is due to the increased prevalence of CV risk factors. Traditional CV risk assessment tools for prevention have failed to accurately determine CVD risk in women. CAC has shown to more precisely determine CV risk and is a better predictor of CV outcomes. Coronary CTA provides an opportunity to determine the presence of CAD and initiate prevention in women presenting with angina. Identifying women with INOCA due to CMD with use of cPET or cMRI with MBFR is vital in managing these patients. This review article outlines the role of imaging in preventive cardiology for women and will include the latest evidence supporting the use of these imaging tests for this purpose.

Recent Findings: CV mortality is higher in women who have more extensive CAC burden. Women have a greater prevalence of INOCA which is associated with higher MACE. INOCA is due to CMD in most cases which is associated with traditional CVD risk factors. Over half of these women are untreated or undertreated. Recent study showed that stratified medical therapy, tailored to the specific INOCA endotype, is feasible and improves angina in women. Coronary CTA is useful in the setting of women presenting with acute chest pain to identify CAD and initiate preventive therapy. CAC confers greater relative risk for CV mortality in women versus (vs.) men. cMRI or cPET is useful to assess MBFR to diagnose CMD and is another useful imaging tool in women for CV prevention.

This study explores the effect of aspirin on preeclampsia (PE) and analyzes the influencing factors of PE in high-risk pregnant women. We encompassed 110 high-risk pregnant women receiving prenatal examination at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Yichang City between January 2022 and December 2023, categorized them into the intervention group (n=58,received aspirin therapy), and the control group (n=52, didn't receive pharmaceutical prophylaxis). Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared between groups, with logistic regression performed.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, and metastasis is a leading cause of mortality in patients with this disease. This study investigated the effects of melatonin, a natural hormone, on the migration of cancer cells in two cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in their respective media.

Background: Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are pathologies most common in women of reproductive age. Menstrual irregularities (oligo/amenorrhea) are the most common symptom of these diseases. FHA develops against the background of stress or excessive physical exertion, and is characterized by inhibition of neuroendocrine regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis with a subsequent decrease in the production of sex steroids.

Clinical Assessment of Walking Capacity in People with Parkinson Disease: Are Two Minutes Sufficient?

Phys Ther

March 2025

Karolinska Institutet, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Physiotherapy, 141 83 Stockholm, Sweden.

Objective: Walking capacity progressively declines in people with Parkinson disease (PD), and assessment of walking is imperative for monitoring disease progression and evaluating intervention efficacy. The main aim of this study was to explore whether the 2-minute walk test (2MWT) could be substituted for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) as a measure of walking capacity in people with PD. We also sought to investigate construct and known-groups validity of the 2MWT.
