Description
Hiroki Goto and co-authors ask whether a CT measure of heart tissue can warn of future heart events in dialysis patients. Their 2024 study covers fifty-seven patients who had heart CT scans. The measure, called extracellular volume, can show scarring in the heart muscle. It is also the only scan method of its kind for patients who cannot get gadolinium dye.
Patients were tracked for a median of eleven months, and major heart events occurred in fifteen cases. Those patients had higher scan values and higher levels of a heart strain marker in blood. Valve disease was also more common in that group. The authors test how well the scan value sorts patients by risk.
