Methods and results In 1870 consecutive patients (mean age 73 ± 12 years; 33% female) undergoing MPI, the level of imaging test appropriateness was evaluated according to the 2023 Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) and the current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the management of chronic coronary syndromes. The evidence of moderate-to-severe ischaemia (i.e. summed difference score >7) was recorded. According to the AUC criteria, the MPI of 1638 (88%), 130 (7%), and 102 (5%) patients could be classified as ‘appropriate’, ‘inappropriate’, and ‘uncertain’, respectively. Similarly, in 1685 (90%) patients, the referral to MPI was adherent to ESC guidelines, while in 185 (10%), it was not. The majority of appropriate MPI tests showed the presence of moderate-to-severe ischaemia (55%), while only a limited number (10%; P < 0.05) of MPI tests with uncertain clinical appropriateness or clearly inappropriate indications did not. In patients managed adherently to ESC guidelines, invasive coronary angiography more frequently showed obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) (93 vs. 47%, P < 0.001) and led to coronary revascularization (65 vs. 23%, P < 0.001) compared with patients managed non-adherently. Conclusion In a single-centre, single-national, single-modality population, the current rate of appropriate MPI tests is high. Appropriate referrals are associated with a higher probability of moderate-to-severe ischaemia and better downstream resource utilization than inappropriate ones.","PeriodicalId":94317,"journal":{"name":"European heart journal.

Methods and results We developed a clinical scoring system from a cohort of 21 492 consecutive patients who underwent CCTA between February 2006 and May 2021.

Machine learning (ML) models were utilized to validate the predictor selection and prediction performance. Both logistic regression and ML models achieved fair discriminate ability with an area under the curve of 0.630 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.618–0.641] and 0.634 (95% CI 0.612–0.656), respectively.

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) have been widely used to assess cardiac function and structure and characterize myocardial tissue during COVID-19 with report of numerous abnormalities. Overall, findings have varied, and long-term impact of COVID-19 on the heart needs further elucidation. Methods and results We performed TTE and 3 T CMR in survivors of the initial stage of the pandemic without pre-existing cardiac disease and matched controls at long-term follow-up a median of 308 days after initial infection. Study population consisted of 40 COVID-19 survivors (50% female, 28% Black, and 48% Hispanic) and 12 controls of similar age, sex, and race-ethnicity distribution; 35% had been hospitalized with 28% intubated. We found no difference in echocardiographic characteristics including measures of left and right ventricular structure and systolic function, valvular abnormalities, or diastolic function. Using CMR, we also found no differences in measures of left and right ventricular structure and function and additionally found no significant differences in parameters of tissue structure including T1, T2, extracellular volume mapping, and late gadolinium enhancement. With analysis stratified by patient hospitalization status as an indicator of COVID-19 severity, no differences were uncovered. Conclusion Multimodal imaging of a diverse cohort of COVID-19 survivors indicated no long-lasting damage or inflammation of the myocardium.","PeriodicalId":94317,"journal":{"name":"European heart journal.

However, the impact of relative calcific density and its causal effect on peri-procedural complications due to sub-optimal valve expansion remains limited. This study aims to investigate the prognostic power of quantifying regional calcification in the device landing zone in the context of peri-procedural events and post-procedural complications based on pre-operative contrast computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images. Assess the effect of calcification on post-procedural device expansion and final configuration. Methods and results We introduce a novel patient invariant topographic scheme for quantifying the location and relative density of landing zone calcification. The calcification was detected on CCTA images based on a recently developed method using automatic minimization of the false positive rate between aortic lumen and calcific segments. Multinomial logistic regression model evaluation and ROC curve analysis showed excellent classification power for predicting paravalvular leakage [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.8; P < 0.001] and balloon pre-dilation (AUC = 0.907; P < 0.001). The model exhibited an acceptable classification ability for left bundle branch block (AUC = 0.748; P < 0.001) and balloon post-dilation (AUC = 0.75; P < 0.001). Notably, all evaluated models were significantly superior to alternative models that did not include intensity-weighted regional volume scoring. Conclusions TAVR planning based on contrast computed tomography images can benefit from detailed location, quantity, and density contribution of calcific deposits in the device landing zone. Those parameters could be employed to stratify patients who need a more personalized approach during TAVR planning, predict peri-procedural complications, and indicate patients for follow-up monitoring.","PeriodicalId":94317,"journal":{"name":"European heart journal.

Both sonographer groups significantly foreshortened the LV in Period 1 (mean foreshortening: Sonographer 1: 4 mm; Sonographer 2: 3 mm, both <i>P</i> < 0.001 vs. reference) and reduced foreshortening in Period 2 (2 and 0 mm, respectively. Period 1 vs. Period 2, <i>P</i> < 0.05). Sonographers using DL guiding did not foreshorten more than cardiologists (<i>P</i> ≥ 0.409). Real-time guiding did not improve intra-class correlation (ICC) [LV end-diastolic volume ICC, (95% confidence interval): DL guiding 0.87 (0.77-0.93) vs. no guiding 0.92 (0.88-0.95)].</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Real-time guiding reduced foreshortening among experienced operators and has the potential to improve image standardization. Even though the effect on inter-operator variability was minimal among experienced users, real-time guiding may improve test-retest variability among less experienced users.</p><p><strong>Clinical trial registration: </strong>ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier: NCT04580095.</p>","PeriodicalId":94317,"journal":{"name":"European heart journal.
