A deep convolutional neural network was able to predict hospital stay, ICU admission and intubation when scoring chest CT images of hospitalized COVID patients.

In a recent study, venous thromboembolisms were detected in those with COVID via multiple imaging modalities at a rate of 16.3% compared to 9.2% in individuals with CAP.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) has asked Congress to provide more financial relief as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Diabetes appears to be yet another potential outcome associated with long COVID-19. 

Santiago Garcia, MD, lead author of the study and director of the structural heart program at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, presented new data from the North American COVID-19 STEMI (NACMI) registry at ACC.22. Severity of heart attacks were reduced in vaccinated patients, with zero deaths in vaccinated patients in 2021.

The increased risk of deep vein thrombosis lasts for up to three months, researchers found. 

The new analysis included data from more than 126,000 vaccinations. 

Telecardiology saw a major boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many health systems now want to keep it as a permanent treatment option. 

Stories of stress and burnout among healthcare workers, particularly nurses, continue to make news during the COVID-19 pandemic and new research shows these mental health problems can  decreased quality of patient care provided to patients.

Some of the study's findings even raised concerns that losartan could be harming these patients. 

Up to 30% of individuals with "long COVID" continue to suffer from lingering coughs and dyspnea months after recovering from the infection, despite having milder cases.

The new consensus document provides a framework for understanding, evaluating, and managing some of the key cardiovascular sequelae of COVID-19

The study's authors emphasized the importance of careful patient selection. 

A second booster shot may be necessary to protect against COVID-19.

New research published in Clinical Imaging links specific adverse findings on chest imaging of COVID patients to ICU admission, need for intubation and length of hospital stay. 

Survey results published in CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology reveal how interventional departments fared during the first two waves of the pandemic, as well as how organizations are preparing for future outbreaks.
