TL;DR: D degree of infarct transmurality appears to be a more powerful predictor of LV recovery by CMR when using the delayed enhancement technique for assessment of DHE and MVO.

TL;DR: Noninvasive cardiac imaging in patients who are at low and intermediate risk for coronary artery disease may improve confidence regarding the safety of discharge from the emergency department and noncoronary etiologies for chest pain can be established with imaging.

TL;DR: The ACR Appropriateness Criteria(®) are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 2 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel and include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology.

TL;DR: Routine moderate-intensity exercise, as suggested by contemporary physical activity guidelines, is protective against coronary artery disease, but recent cross-sectional data suggest that high levels of endurance exercise may cause or accelerate CAD.

TL;DR: Among WWH in the REPRIEVE trial, more advanced reproductive age is associated with metabolic dysregulation and region of residence, and additional research on age at menopause among WWH is needed.
