ISMRM: Swiss team casts light on congenital heart disease
Researchers from Zurich have developed a cumulative clinical risk (CCR) score that may provide an early predictive marker for long-term brain alterations and cognitive impairments in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). This score may prove valuable in clinical practice to counsel parents about their child's long-term outcome and to aid early identification of those patients at highest risk for long-term brain alterations and provide therapeutic support as early as possible.
"Our findings underscore the clinical relevance of examining cumulative effects of clinical risk and lay a foundation for further, more adva...

ARRS: Dartmouth poster wins for CVD risk prediction potential using mammograms
A scientific poster on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction using fat-enlarged axillary nodes visualized on screening mammograms won the Summa Cum Laude Award at the 124th American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.
Produced by Jessica Hitchcock, MD, and researchers from Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, the poster demonstrated how fat-enlarged nodes may be associated with high CVD risk, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. In the future, this work could improve risk stratification without additional cost or additional testing.

ISMRM: Higher BMI measures translate to poorer brain health
SINGAPORE – A higher body mass index (BMI) translates to poorer brain health in the form of premature aging, according to research presented May 7 at the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting.
