EBCT [electron beam CT] scanning for coronary calcium for either the presence of severe [coronary artery stenosis] or the prediction of [coronary heart disease] events in adults at increased risk for coronary heart disease.” The USPSTF reaffirmed their position in 2009, stating that the evidence...
1), such as by touchscreen, keyboard, graphical user interface, voice commands, etc. In some examples, the patient data includes device-related data, such as one or more of an impedance of one or more electrodes of the medical device, a selection of electrodes, a drug delivery schedule ...
In a cost-effectiveness model, cardiac 123I-mIBG screening in CHF patients was associated with a reduction in ICD implantation by 21%, resulting in a number needed to screen to prevent 1 ICD implantation of 5. Consequently, compared to no cardiac 123I-mIBG screening costs per patient were ...
Third, it is necessary to screen CVD traditional risk factors including diabetes, high blood pressure, and smoking in regular period by health caregivers and in case of revealing any risk factors, training to improve lifestyle and appropriate treatment according to national/international guidelines. ...
Recently, the ATS suggested not performing routine baseline echocardiogram to screen for CS because of the lack of strong evidence supporting this practice. However, the panel recognizes that this test should be considered on a case-by-case basis.40 If initial screening is normal, it might be ...
Two authors will independently screen titles and abstracts for relevance, review full texts for inclusion and conduct detail data extraction. The methodological quality will be evaluated using the QUADAS-2 tool. If pooling is possible, these researchers will use bi-variate model for diagnostic meta-...
7–10 Some reports suggest that 20% of acute rejection episodes have a false-negative EMB and are treated on clinical grounds alone.11,12 CMR has the potential to be a sensitive test to screen for acute rejection, using many of the same sequences that have been helpful in nontransplant ...
Top: FP-based screen targeting the interaction between NcTnC and the switch region of cTnI. Bottom: FP-based screen targeting the interaction between CcTnC and the anchoring region of cTnI. (d) HTS of three commercially available compound libraries targeting the interaction between cTnC and switch...
the ECG devices segment accounted for the largest share of the market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to technological advancements such as the incorporation of advanced algorithms and workflow improvement features, such as simplified operations, touchscreen systems, portability, wirel...
By using ML to screen variables and establish prediction models, adverse factors for patients with CA can be identified at the early stage of admission to the ICU, and corrected as soon as possible to improve the prognosis of patients. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a...
