Description
Jili Long, Jingru Lin, Jia Tao, and Hao Wang test a new heart scan score in a 2024 study of chest pain patients. Doctors need a safe way to tell which narrowed heart vessels truly block blood flow. The team used a sound-wave scan with tiny bubbles to grade how well blood filled the heart wall.
Their score was checked against a wire-free flow measure taken as the standard. The study held 112 patients sent for vessel imaging, and 64 had flow-blocking disease. The new score tracked the standard well for the main front vessel and stood out in joint tests. A clear cut point could help doctors sort who needs more care.
