Using the Coronary Artery Calcium Score, Cardiac MRI to Guide Defibrillator Use, Diagnosis and Treatment of POTS, and more
Summary
JAMA editors Linda Brubaker and Prithi Milani discuss recent research, including how coronary artery calcium scores refine statin recommendations and why cardiac MRI-guided ICDs did not reduce sudden death in a new trial. They also cover AI detection of amyloid cardiomyopathy, rural hospice access disparities, and clinical updates on POTS and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.
