Diagnostic and prognostic value of myocardial blood flow quantification as non-invasive indicator of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a leading cause of death in orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) survivors. Effective non-invasive screening methods are needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the added diagnostic and prognostic value of myocardial blood flow (MBF) to standard myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with positron emission tomography (PET) for CAV detection.

Cardiovascular effects of androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer: ABCDE steps to reduce cardiovascular disease in patients with prostate cancer.
Since cardiovascular disease risk may be increased by the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the researchers have adapted the five-step "ABCDE" algorithm for prostate cancer survivors. Its treatment recommendations come under the following headings: awareness and aspirin, blood pressure, cholesterol and cigarettes, diet and diabetes, and exercise. The algorithm is illustrated by a hypothetical case study.
