The prevalence of heart failure and the resultant mortality has continued to rise despite increased understanding of the pathogenesis and improvement in management strategies.1 Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is the final stage of most primary cardiovascular diseases, and greater severity is directly correlated with worse prognosis. The principal manifestation of heart failure progression is a…

“But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange” William Shakespeare, The Tempest
The term ‘sea-change’ is an idiom or poetic phrase meaning profound transformation, and was coined by Shakespeare in The Tempest. The term is appropriately applied to the complex transformation that the clinical practice of cardiac computed tomography (CT) continues to undergo. In the early and mid…

Cardiac computed tomography (CT), and in particular computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA), stand poised to revolutionize the way in which cardiac pathology is diagnosed, and change the way in which decisions are made with regards to invasive treatment of cardiac disease. In particular, the diagnosis of coronary disease (the number one killer of patients in modern societies) will be…

Clinical applications of cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) have made dramatic advances over the past three years, particularly in myocardial perfusion imaging. These advances include cardiac-specific PET technology, specialized software, and profound biological insights into myocardial perfusion far beyond the traditional binary interpretation of perfusion images as normal or abnormal…

Since its original description in 1992, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has advanced from the method of using a simple single-detector to a powerful imaging multidetector system capable of acquiring 16 channels of data with rapid imaging acquisition and higher spatial resolution, while simultaneously allowing patient coverage of more than 120cm with a single scan. Computed tomography (CT)…

Vasa vasora are the blood supply of the artery itself, originating in the adventitia in response to the arterial wall’s nutritional requirements. The presence of a thicker tunica media or neointima requires the development of vasa vasorum to meet the metabolic demands of the arterial wall, since diffusion from the arterial lumen alone is insufficient. Over 40 years ago Wolinsky and Glagov…

ESC 2023 — We are joined onsite by Dr Duk-Woo Park and Dr Do-Yoon Kang (Asan Medical Center, Seoul, KR) to discuss the findings from the OCTIVUS study (NCT03394079).
The OCTIVUS study (Seung-Jung Park, CardioVascular Research Foundation, Korea) aims to compare the clinical safety and efficacy of optimal coherence tomography (OCT) guided and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided strategies in…
