Mashup Score: 5
BACKGROUND: Cardiac diagnostic testing continues to evolve, and controversies remain regarding the optimal utilization of different procedures. We sought to evaluate changes in long-term utilization trends for a wide range of cardiac diagnostic tests in the context of advancing technologies and updated guidelines. METHODS: Annual cardiac testing volumes from 2010 to 2022 in the Medicare Part B population were compared across tests and by provider specialty and analyzed using Joinpoint regression. RESULTS: The most-utilized test in the Medicare population remained transthoracic echocardiography, accounting for 61.5% of cardiac testing use in 2011 and 67.7% in 2022, followed by single-photon emission computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging, which decreased from 20.8% to 12.9%. Single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion imaging use decreased relative to positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (ratio of 39:1 in 2011 to 7:1 in 2022), stress cardiac magnet

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring predicts cardiovascular risk, but social determinants of health may play a role in its prognostic ability. We examined whether the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) modifies the association between CAC and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in a community-based screening cohort. METHODS: We studied 49 224 participants without known cardiovascular disease referred for CAC scanning from 2014 to 2022 based on cardiovascular risk factors. SVI was determined for each participant based on the census tract. We examined 8-year incidence of MACE (myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, revascularization, death) by SVI quartile across CAC score strata (0, 1–99, 100–399, ≥400). Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios for MACE, associated with demographics, metabolic factors, and CAC. RESULTS: Higher SVI was associated with female sex, non-White race, greater comorbidities, and higher CAC scores. The 8-year MACE rate inc

Mashup Score: 1Prognostic Value of Myocardial T1 Mapping for Predicting Adverse Events in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy | Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging - 1 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the prognostic value of myocardial T1 and extracellular volume fraction for adverse cardiovascular events has not been well defined. METHODS: A total of 663 consecutive participants with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent 3T cardiovascular magnetic resonance were recruited. The follow-up end points included heart failure (HF)-related death, HF hospitalization, and sudden cardiac death or aborted sudden cardiac death. RESULTS: On Cox proportional hazards regression multivariable analyses, global native T1 excluding late gadolinium enhancement areas (hazard ratio [HR], 1.04 [95% CI, 0.99–1.09]; P=0.094) and global extracellular volume fraction excluding late gadolinium enhancement (HR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.95–1.10]; P=0.565) were not associated with sudden cardiac death. Conversely, global native T1 (HR, 1.08 per 10 ms increase [95% CI, 1.02–1.16], P=0.014; HR, 1.05 per 10 ms increase [95% CI, 1.01–1.09]; P=0.009) and global ext

The Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging Section Editors for Digital Media Strategies, Jiwon Kim and Kazuaki Negishi, will host our latest webinar offering. This webinar will provide attendees with a “behind-the-scenes” look at the publishing process at Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. Authors of two manuscripts will present on key aspects of their manuscripts’ journeys, including: the research question and design of the study; highlights of the manuscript’s scientific findings; how the authors addressed feedback from reviewers during the revision processes; and lessons learned and advice for prospective authors based on the experience. The two manuscripts being presented are: “Relationship of Ketosis With Myocardial Glucose Uptake Among Patients Undergoing FDG PET/CT for Evaluation of Cardiac Sarcoidosis” by Dr. Mahesh Vidula and Dr. Paco Bravo, and “Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Aortic Stenosis: Early Cell and Matrix Regression 2 Months Post-Aortic Valve Replacement” by Dr. Jona
