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…

Dr George Dangas (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY, US) discusses the results of the TWILIGHT-Stent trial, presented at ESC 2021. This study examined the incidence of ischemic and bleeding events in patients treated with contemporary drug-eluting stents over 3-15 months. This trial also examined ticagrelor monotherapy vs ticagrelor with aspirin.

A substantial number of patients develop a subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
The thrombus forms on the leaflets, which can lead to valve dysfunction and possibly to early valve degeneration. Multidetector computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging technique at detecting SLT.
Patients on antiplatelet drugs are at higher risk to…

Effective translation of reperfusion therapy to mortality reductions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains both time-critical in its implementation and dependent on optimal antithrombotic therapy. Innumerable clinical studies have explored several antithrombin and antiplatelet therapies in the immediate management of STEMI. With the wide array of the therapies now…

Pregnancy is a physiologic challenge, with significant hormonal, metabolic, and hemodynamic changes. Cardiac output is objectively increased by the fifth week after the last menstrual period and continues to grow by approximately 45 % by 24 weeks in the normal, singleton pregnancy. This is facilitated by elevations in heart rate and stroke volume and a decrease in systemic vascular resistance…

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a recent innovation that has transformed the care of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. It has emerged as an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in prohibitive-, high-risk, and more recently, intermediate-risk surgical patients. More than 200,000 TAVRs have been performed in 65 countries around the world.1
