Representative cardiac MRI strain images and analysis. Images in the two-, four-, and three-chamber views for strain analysis (left) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (eGLSR) curves (right) are shown. (A) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 37-year-old male participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) without events during follow-up after cardiac MRI. (B) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 45-year-old male participant with DM who had heart failure hospitalization during follow-up after cardiac MRI. In the left images, blue represents higher myocardial strain (higher absolute values of negative strain), whereas red represents reduced strain. In the curves, blue represents GLS, whereas orange represents eGLSR. The left y-axis denotes GLS (%), the right y-axis represents eGLSR (per second), and the x-axis denotes time (milliseconds). For these strain parameters, a lower absolute value indicates more severe myocardial functional impairment; accordingly, GLS and eGLSR were more impaired in participants with events compared with those without events.

Low muscle density on coronary CT linked to heart risk
By Will Morton
Patients with skeletal muscle attenuation below the median had a higher risk of mortality and myocardial infarction.

An example of machine learning–based multiorgan body composition assessment (TotalSegmentator V2.0.4, 1.5-mm high-resolution model) in a 63-year-old man with obstructive coronary artery disease and a skeletal muscle attenuation below the median. (A) Transverse, (B) coronal, and (C) sagittal CT images and curved planar reformations of the (D) left, (E) circumflex, and (F) right coronary arteries.

C-index for Cox regression and random survival forests models using two feature sets. Adding historical registry data decreases the C-index for Cox regression but increased it for the random survival forests model, consistent with the non-linear structure in the registry data.
Air pollution tied to worse coronary disease on CT, especially in women
By Kate Madden Yee
The strongest effects of pollution exposure is seen in women, even at moderate levels typical of high-income countries.
June 9, 2026
Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).
