Magnetocardiography (MCG) offers a noninvasive, reproducible methodology for rapid and accurate detection of cardiomyopathy after exclusion of ischemic heart disease. This study indicates that MCG may be an efficient tool for allocation of advanced imaging to those patients with a high likelihood of disease.

How should multimodality imaging be used to diagnose cardiac masses? In 142 patients, CMR had the best standalone accuracy. Combination CMR + 18F-FDG PET gave near-perfect results (AUC 0.97, NPV 100%). If CMR isn't feasible, CCT + PET is a strong alternative.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading medical cause of duty-related deaths among tactical athletes, including military personnel, firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical responders, astronauts and pilots. These individuals face unique physical and environmental demands that can increase cardiovascular risk and require specialized approaches to evaluation and care, according to a new joint ACC/AHA Scientific Statement.

High-deprivation U.S. counties with excess premature mortality represent a structural CV care gap. Geographically targeted prevention, workforce planning, and cardiac rehabilitation access should prioritize areas where premature mortality, deprivation, rurality, and limited CV infrastructure overlap.
