Top paper of #yesCCT at #SCCT2025 this year at opening ceremony! thelancet.com/journals/lance… 📊 Key Findings ➡️primary evens 6.6% in the CCTA group vs. 8.2% in standard care. ➡️Non-fatal MI decreased significantly: Lower in the CCTA group (8.3% vs 10.3%; HR 0.80; p=0.026) ➡️

Top papers of #yesCCT at #SCCT2025 Number 2 ➡️Plaque burden predicts events Total plaque volume was the strongest AI‑QCT predictor: each interquartile increase (~559 mm³) linked to a 56% higher hazard of CV death or MI ➡️Incremental prognostic improvement Adding AI‑QCT data

DECIDE Registry results Problem: high MACE in non-obstructive CAD & poor uptake of statin Rx (<1/3) Plaque analysis/staging (AI CPA) by total plaque volume at 90 days led to changes in lipid management in 50% of pts & associated w ⬇️LDL

#yesCCT remains undefeated!

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers, faculty and attendees who made #SCCT2025 a huge success! Can't wait to see you all again next year in San Diego!

MINOCA is not an end point diagnosis. Great example of how diagnosis is not an endpoint but a waypoint. Excited for a new paradigm: ✅ cardiac MRI ✅ coronary functional testing ✅ role of AI in pattern recognition of previously ‘non essential’ data Andrew Parsons

MRI physics on a Tuesday night for the Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging fellows at University of Kentucky Cardiology Fellowship! #WhyCMR #physics #cardiology Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

So many feelings! Grateful to amazing collaborators, authors, editors, & others. We are excited for you to read this incredible piece from a vanguard authorship group! A great example of the type of INTERSECTIONS of disciplines and ideas that can stimulate discourse & innovation!

Our latest study: CMR LVFP Exhibits Strong Haemodynamic Relevance and Outperforms Echocardiography in Multimodal HF Assessment! This work highlights how TTE & CMR can join forces to revolutionise non‑invasive LVFP evaluation. READ➡️mdpi.com/3379264 #whycmr European Society of Cardiology

A fun one to send out on a Monday morning. Anyone have an idea what’s going on here? #Cardiology #cardiotwitter #EPeeps #ECG #MedTwitter #electrocardiogram

🫀✨ #CardioNugget: Why does A2 come early in VSD but late in PDA? 🔹 VSD = Early A2 Blood shunts LV ➡️ RV during systole ⬇️ LV pressure & volume → LV empties faster Aortic valve closes sooner → Early A2 🔹 PDA = Delayed A2 Blood flows aorta ➡️ PA, even during diastole LV has
