Researchers Create Heart Attack Prediction Tool
DALLAS, Texas (CBS Local) – Will you have a heart attack within the next ten years? Medical researchers affiliated with Dallas-based UT Southwestern Medical Center have unveiled an online tool designed to “calculate” a person’s risk level for heart attack or stroke. Astro-CHARM specifically combines a person’s heart health factors, including cholesterol, blood pressure, and family history. The site also needs input of a person’s artery calcium level. By specifically calculating the data together, the Astro-CHARM calculator provides a percentage figure, to assess heart attack and/or disease over a ten ye...

Thoracic Aortic Calcium For The Prediction Of Stroke Mortality (From The Coronary Artery Calcium Consortium)
Thoracic aortic calcium(TAC) is an important marker of extra-coronary atherosclerosis with established predictive value for all-cause mortality. We sought to explore the predictive value of TAC for stroke mortality, independent of the more established coronary artery calcium(CAC) score. The CAC Consortium is a retrospectively assembled database of 66,636 patients aged ≥18 years with no prior history of cardiovascular disease, baseline CAC scans for risk stratification, and follow-up for 12±4 years.

Case report of nuclear medicine, bone scan imaging on a patient with heat stroke induced rhabdomyolysis
J Nucl Med Technol. 2021 Jul 30:jnmt.121.262501. doi: 10.2967/jnmt.121.262501. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBone scan continues to be the second greatest-volume nuclear imaging procedure, offering the advantage of total body examination, low cost, and high sensitivity not only for metastatic lesions but also benign conditions. Its power rests in the physiological uptake and pathophysiologic behavior of 99m technetium (99m-Tc) diphosphonates. 1 The localization of radiotracers in damaged skeletal muscles is because calcium builds up in them and provides a site for radiotracer deposition when combined with phosphate.1 In ca...
