TL;DR: Using a novel glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor radiotracer 18F-GP1, this paper investigated whether positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography could detect thrombus formation on bioprosthetic aortic valves.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed quantitative plaque analysis to assess the association between primary endpoint of 1-year all-cause death or nonfatal myocardial infarction and the GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) score, presence of obstructive coronary artery disease, and plaque burden in 404 patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome.

TL;DR: The basis for PET/CT scanning is examined and the studies that have investigated its use in aortic stenosis are discussed, providing a potential method of measuring disease activity which might then allow prediction of progression and act as a surrogate endpoint in studies of novel therapies.

TL;DR: It would be a major advance if CT myocardial perfusion imaging could be performed in patients with coronary artery disease of uncertain severity and as a means of planning coronary revascularisation, especially as an optional follow-on procedure to CT coronary angiography.

TL;DR: Cardiovascular impairment did not differ following controlled exposure to biodiesel exhaust as compared to PDE, despite differences in PM composition and particle reactivity, and the potential adverse health effects of biodiesel fuel emissions should be taken into account when evaluating future fuel policies.
