Mashup Score: 20
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is heterogeneous in older age and is incompletely explained by traditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors. The extremes of subclinical atherosclerosis burden are strongly associated with either a low or high 10-year risk of incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, respectively. However, the genetic underpinnings of differences in arterial aging remain unclear. We sought to determine the independent association of 2 polygenic scores for coronary heart disease (CHD) with CAC in adults ≥75 years of age. METHODS: There were 1865 ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) participants who underwent genetic testing at visit 1 (1987–1989) and CAC scans at visit 7 (2018–2019). In the primary analysis, an externally derived multi-ancestry polygenic CHD risk score was calculated for both White and Black participants. Results were confirmed using a separate ARIC-derived polygenic CHD risk score, including ≥6 million variants c

Mashup Score: 1[99mTc]-PentixaTec SPECT/CT for Imaging of Chemokine Receptor 4 Expression After Myocardial Infarction | Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging - 1 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Accumulation of CXCR4 (C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4)–positive immune cells after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can be visualized by positron emission tomography. For a broader clinical application, there is a need for CXCR4-directed radiotracers labeled with isotopes that can be used with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We report on the detection of CXCR4 expression after AMI in humans using the novel tracer [99mTc]-PentixaTec. METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, 9 patients with AMI after mechanical revascularization underwent myocardial inflammation imaging with [99mTc]-PentixaTec SPECT/computed tomography and rest perfusion SPECT imaging. Tracer uptake in the infarcted area, spleen, bone marrow, and blood pool were used for semiquantitative analysis and calculation of signal-to-background ratios. The extent and intensity of SPECT-derived inflammatory changes were compared with serological markers and perfusion defects. RESULTS: CXCR4-direc

Mashup Score: 163
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of left ventricular filling pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) remains difficult. A novel 2-dimensional scoring system, visually assessing time difference between mitral valve and tricuspid valve opening (VMT) score, based on temporal analysis of early diastolic valve opening, could be applied to these patients. We aimed to determine the usefulness of the VMT score in patients with AF. METHODS: We analyzed 119 consecutive patients with AF who underwent cardiac catheterization as a derivation cohort. The diagnostic performance of the VMT score was further evaluated in an external data set containing 189 patients with AF. Elevated left ventricular filling pressure was defined as a mean pulmonary arterial wedge pressure ≥15 mm Hg. The time sequence of atrioventricular valve opening was visually assessed and scored (0, tricuspid valve first; 1, simultaneous; 2, mitral valve first). When the inferior vena cava was dilated, 1 point w

Did you know that we can tell elevated LV filling pressure without need for Doppler in AF? The order which one of mitral or tricuspid valves opens first is the answer. Read more in @CircImaging @murayama_1224 @DadMashiro @KagiyamaNobu #AHAJournals https://t.co/uLKAW5xdQ7 https://t.co/FPeEVQ7WlC
