Host Sotirios Evangelou, MD, FSCCT is joined by Vlasis Ninios, MD to explore the indispensable role of cardiac CT in transcatheter structural heart interventions. From planning TAVI and TMVR to assessing tricuspid valve therapies, they highlight how CT imaging guides prosthesis sizing, vascular access, and risk assessment. Together, they discuss emerging technologies, evolving indications, and how cardiac CT is shaping the future of structural heart disease treatment. 

Doug Ryan, CEO of Arineta, describes the advancements in cardiac CT imaging technology and how their ultra-fast scanning is revealing more accurate and higher-quality imaging of the heart. Using wide-area coverage and deep learning image reconstruction, the Arineta platform can detect arterial occlusions and coronary plaque buildup, which is a significant risk factor for sudden cardiac events and is often missed when relying solely on calcium scoring. The development of a mobile cardiac CT scanning unit is improving access to this technology, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Doig explains, "What you're trying to do is to stop the most complex organ inside the human body. The human heart translates, rotates, and beats somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute. So you really need advanced CT technology that comprises a great many areas, but the most important things are coverage speed and the ability to reconstruct it very quickly." "You're using advanced algorithms like our DLIR, our deep learning image reconstruction, which focuses on high-contrast, high-spatial, low-noise reconstructions that can then be put into what we call a multiplanar format. So you can look at these coronary arteries from all angles and do the diagnostic." "So it's actually a combination of several things. Ultra FAST is, of course, very important because you are literally trying to stop a bird mid-flight and get an accurate picture of it, but it's also the ability to encompass and see the entire heart in a single rotation. So, one of the secrets of the SpotLight and SpotLight Duo is both the ultra-fast rotation and the wide area coverage that we get with our detector system." #Arineta #CTImaging #CardiovascularDiagnostics #Cardiology #DeepLearningImageReconstruction   Arineta.com Download the transcript here

My heart is literally on fire today…and not because of a workout —but because we're going deep on HEART HEALTH with one of the top preventative cardiologists in the country, Dr. Milind Parikh. This is personal for me. My dad died of a heart attack at 58. I've got the genetics. I've also got the drive to outlive it. And now, I've got the data AND treatments to potentially stave off the #1 Killer in America—heart attack. On today's IMPACT SHOW episode, Dr. Parikh walks us through what it means to be a preventative cardiologist, why most heart attacks are 100% preventable, and how A.I.-powered Coronary CT scans are revolutionizing modern medicine. This is what is now being called Medicine 3.0 — and friends, it's here. Here are some of the things we discuss: What is “preventative cardiology” and what exactly do you do? The 4 pillars of heart health and how you can improve each one of them. Why we have it wrong many times and WHY “normal” cholesterol doesn't guarantee a healthy heart. The difference between soft plaque vs. hard plaque (this is BIG!); which one is “good” and which one is “bad.” What exactly is a CT heart scan and what do you look for? How the software & technology in a Coronary CT scan with A.I. plaque analysis & FFR shows the difference between “soft plaque” and “hard plaque” and your true risk of having a heart attack. What causes plaque buildup in the heart? How does the A.I. fit into all of this and what is its role? The million dollar question: “Can you reverse plaque buildup and if so, HOW?” Why sleep apnea (often called the “Silent killer”) can ultimately stress your heart and ultimately cause a heart attack/death. The power of early detection of heart disease and how a Coronary CT scan with A.I. plaque analysis can help prevent a coronary episode. Supplements & new meds that may reverse plaque. This is interesting! Why you must start testing NOW— even if you “feel fine.” What's next in Medicine 3.0 and what is your role in this cutting-edge field? This is one of the most important episodes I've ever done. Again, it's something near & dear to my heart (pardon the pun). If you have a family history of heart disease OR you just want to maximize your health and prevent heart disease, this is a MUST LISTEN to episode. If you love LIFE and want to stave off coronary disease or a heart attack, DO NOT MISS THIS ONE…your LIFE may depend on it. LISTEN. SHARE. SAVE A LIFE. If this hits home, please share it with someone you care about. You just might save their life.

I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem. Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year. Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it. The devastating fact in all of this is…  Every one of those cases could have been prevented.

Alastair and Praveen are joined by the renowned Todd Villines to discuss the evolving role of cardiac CT in identifying cardiovascular disease phenotypes. 

Hosts Alastair and Praveen are joined by Dr. Tim Fairbairn, lead investigator of the ADVANCE study, to discuss the present science and future prospects of FFRct. 

CardioNerds (Daniel Ambinder), ACHD series co-chairs,  Dr. Josh Saef (ACHD fellow, University of Pennsylvania) Dr. Daniel Clark (ACHD fellow, Vanderbilt University), and ACHD FIT lead Dr. Jon Kochav (Columbia University) join Dr. Eric Krieger (Director of the Seattle Adult Congenital Heart Service and the ACHD Fellowship, University of Washington) to discuss multimodality imaging in congenital heart disease. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Dr. Maryam Barkhordarian. In this episode we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the imaging modalities most commonly utilized in the diagnosis and surveillance of patients with ACHD.  Specifically, we discuss transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac MRI and cardiac CT. The principles learned are then applied to the evaluation of two patient cases – a patient status post tetralogy of Fallot repair with a transannular patch, and a patient presenting with right ventricular enlargement of undetermined etiology. The CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) series provides a comprehensive curriculum to dive deep into the labyrinthine world of congenital heart disease with the aim of empowering every CardioNerd to help improve the lives of people living with congenital heart disease. This series is multi-institutional collaborative project made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Josh Saef, Dr. Agnes Koczo, and Dr. Dan Clark. The CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease Series is developed in collaboration with the Adult Congenital Heart Association, The CHiP Network, and Heart University.

Pearls - Cardiovascular Multimodality Imaging in Congenital Heart Disease Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the first line diagnostic test for the diagnosis and surveillance of congenital heart disease due to widespread availability, near absent contraindications, and ability to perform near comprehensive structural, functional, and hemodynamic assessments in patients for whom imaging windows allow visualization of anatomic areas of interest.Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) use in ACHD patients is primarily focused on similar indications as in acquired cardiovascular disease patients: the assessment of endocarditis, valvular regurgitation/stenosis severity and mechanism, assessment of interatrial communications in the context of stroke, evaluation for left atrial appendage thrombus, and for intraprocedural guidance. When CT or MRI are unavailable or contraindicated, TEE can also be used when transthoracic imaging windows are poor, or when posterior structures (e.g. sinus venosus, atrial baffle) need to be better evaluated.Cardiac MRI (CMR) with MR angiography imaging is unencumbered by imaging planes or body habitus and can provide comprehensive high resolution structural and functional imaging of most cardiac and extracardiac structures. Additional key advantages over echocardiography are ability to reproducibly quantify chamber volumes, flow through a region of interest (helpful for quantifying regurgitation or shunt fraction), assess for focal fibrosis via late gadolinium enhancement imaging, and assess the right heart.Cardiac CT has superior spatial resolution in a 3D field of view which makes it useful for clarifying anatomic relationships between structures, visualizing small vessels such as coronary arteries or collateral vessels, and assessing patency of larger vessels (e.g branch pulmonary arteries) through metallic stents which may obscure MR imaging.
