A quarter of deaths in the UK are caused by heart disease, the equivalent of one person every three seconds. Improving diagnostics will allow for earlier diagnosis and better health outcomes.
Research published today in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging and led by the computational cardiac imaging group at the LMS has established the normal range of measurements (reference ranges) that indicate someone’s heart is responding in a healthy way to exercise. These ranges are needed to better interpret a medical imaging technique called Exercise Cardiac MRI (exCMR), which means this work could help increase uptake of the test in clinics across the UK and internationally.
The team carried out live cardiac imaging in 161 healthy people between the ages of 22...
