1/ New in @CircImaging: Culprit lesion location matters in STEMI. In 767 patients, circumflex (CX) infarctions showed the highest risk of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) om MRI ...
1/ Higher perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) attenuation on CTA is linked to worse outcomes after EVAR for AAA. In 275 patients, elevated PVAT predicted MACCE and aneurysm-related events, improving risk stratification - a promising imaging biomarker for ...
1/ In 8,500 patients undergoing PET MPI, diffuse impairments in myocardial perfusion are associated with poorer outcomes (MI, heart failure, mortality) compared to focal impairments and are more informative compared to global MFR. ...
In a multicenter study of patients who had clinically indicated CCTA and invasive angiography, FFRCT and DVFFR showed similar diagnostic performance characteristics for sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, compared to iFR @DineshKalraahajrnls.org/49auHMo
April issue @CircImaging is here! 📢
From AI-powered detection of cardiac amyloidosis to ML-guided risk stratification & CT plaque volume, this issue highlights how #AI is transforming CV imaging - + new insights on ischemia, PET flow, imaging in pericarditis & valvular disease.
New data on PYP vs HMDP kinetics for ATTR-CM! 🫀 Both show diagnostic uptake by 10 mins. HMDP clears blood faster with higher bone uptake, accounting for appearance of delayed heart washout. Tip: Adjust windowing on delayed HMDP! #CardioTwitter#Amyloidahajrnls.org/4td7T6K
Aortic valve calcium (AVC) predicts long-term risk of moderate–severe aortic stenosis equally in females & males. Despite lower AVC levels in females, its prognostic value remains consistent: AVC is a key risk marker for both men & women @seamuswheltonahajrnls.org/4t0LYPV
1/ AI-guided CCTA quantification (AI-QCT) is refining who benefits from lipid-lowering therapy 🫀
In 2,269 symptomatic patients, higher atheroma volume (>5%) identified those with improved outcomes, even without obstructive CAD.
Personalized prevention!

New in @CircImaging: In single-vessel CAD, patients with perfusion defects on nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (nMPI) gain the most symptom relief from revascularization, likely via improved perfusion @_OliverPedersenahajrnls.org/4uMUTFT
