July 20, 2023 — A new expert consensus from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) offers clinical protocol for cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) to guide intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). “Technical Recommendations for Computed Tomography Guidance of Intervention in the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract: Native RVOT, Conduits and Bioprosthetic Valves” offers imaging and reporting standards for surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR), including dysfunctional RVOT conduits and bioprosthetic valves, as well as native and patched RVOTs. The goal of the multi-specialty collaboration of three contributing societies – SCCT, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI), and the Congenital Heart Surgeons’ Society (CHSS) – is to optimize CCT image acquisition, minimize diagnostic risk and standardize reporting to guide pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), a

Mashup Score: 2VIDEO: Gender differences in women with cardiovascular disease and implications for imagers - 1 year(s) ago
“Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in women, and actually, we are no longer making gains in cardiovascular mortality in both men and women. And the fastest growing death rate is in middle aged women,” Michos said. She said cardiac computed tomography (CT) calcium scoring is a good way to perform a baseline assessment of the 10-year risk in women for a heart attack. This…

She said many of these patients also will not qualify for MRI, which is the preferred imaging modality for congenital heart. She said this is often because these patients have MRI incompatible devices implanted such as ICDs or pacemakers. Patients also may have limited access to Cardiac MRI or be claustrophobic. In some instances, cardiac CT may have better spacial resolution than cardiac MR when…
