- One of the earlier studies came out in 2005 by Ian Thompson, where it showed that if a man gets erectile dysfunction, it said that 15 percent of them had a heart attack or cardiovascular event within seven years, [and] that when men presented for a heart attack in the emergency room, many of them had ED that had started roughly three years earlier. (getmegiddy.com)
- the Knight Family Professor of Cardiac Imaging and a professor of radiology, this team will study the mechanisms for how long COVID causes chest pain symptoms, determine if blockages of small heart blood vessels predict a person's inability to exercise and explore the feasibility of an MRI is the ideal screening test for long COVID patients with chest pain symptoms. (heart.org)
