The overall increase in patient irradiation caused by the growing use of spiral- and multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) is of particular relevance for thoracic imaging. The number of clinical indications for thoracic CT has steadily increased, and CT has become a first-line imaging tool for diseases previously imaged with chest radiography, ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy and…

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has an estimated prevalence of 15–25 cases/million population.1 This chronic, progressive disease is defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure >25mmHg in conjunction with normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <15mmHg.2 The disease is characterized by increased vascular resistance of the pulmonary microvasculature, ultimately resulting in right…

They are composed of two key lipid building blocks – long-chain bases (usually sphingosine or 1,3-dihydroxy-2-amino-4-octadecene) and fatty acids – and use a glycerol-based backbone to which…

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term used to encompass unstable angina (UA) and myocardial infarction (MI) with or without electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of ST-segment elevation. Antiplatelet therapy has formed the backbone of ACS management for decades and the drug class continues to evolve as novel agents with increasingly efficacious antiplatelet actions are identified. The main risk…
