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.
June 30, 2026
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).

Example of Percentile Nomogram With Age-Adjusted BAC Quartiles. (A) Mammogram of a 56-year-old woman. There is evident BAC (pink arrow). This was quantified as a BAC score of 30 using the cmAngio tool. (B) Nomogram indicating that a BAC score of 30 places a 56-year-old woman within the 50th to 75th percentile for her age.
