ABSTRACT
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is useful in cardiovascular disease across several areas, from assessment of myocardial perfusion and viability, to highlighting atherosclerotic plaque activity and measuring the extent of cardiac innervation in heart failure. Other important roles of PET have emerged in prosthetic valve endocarditis, implanted device infection, infiltrative cardiomyopathies, aortic stenosis and cardio-oncology. Advances in scanner technology, including hybrid PET/MRI and total body PET imaging, as well as the development of novel PET tracers and cardiac-specific postprocessing techniques using artificial intelligence will undoubtedly continue to progress the field.

Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients
Spehlmann ME, et al. Herz 2020 - Review.
ABSTRACT
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary artery embolism are common and serious concomitant diseases in patients with cancer. The prophylaxis and therapy of such venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in oncology have so far been achieved with low-molecular-weight heparins. An increasing number of studies show evidence of the use of direct oral anticoagulants. However, since none of the possible options were shown to have a clear advantage in all patients, the individual decision to use a drug should be made depending on its effectiveness in preventing VTE, the risk of bleeding, the nature of the cancer, the interactions with other medications, the route of administration, and finally the cost of treatment.
