This study tested whether a special heart MRI scan (T1 mapping) can accurately diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers studied 112 older adults with heart failure and thickened heart walls. The goal was to see if this s…

This study tested whether using a 3D model of a patient's kidney before surgery helps surgeons perform robotic-assisted tumor removal faster and with fewer problems. About 370 adults with small kidney tumors took part. The 3D model was created from a CT scan and used during plann…

This study looked at whether people with chronic heart failure can complete a 12-week exercise program at home after a hospital stay. 30 patients were enrolled. Researchers measured how many finished the program and tracked quality of life and exercise ability. The goal was to se…

This study looked at how Sacubitril-Valsartan, a drug already known to help people with heart failure, actually improves heart function. Researchers measured heart pressure and volume in 117 adults with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. The goal was to understand the und…

This study looked at 1085 people with brain bleeding (intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage) to see if doctors, nurses, or standard risk scores are better at predicting long-term recovery. Researchers compared predictions made at the hospital with actual outcomes 3 and 6 month…
