🚨 Out now in Clinical Cardiology! Our new review maps the incredible 10-year rise of Cardiac MRI in ESC guidelines.
🧲🫀 Once an adjunctive test, CMR is now a foundational, Class I/IIa test for cardiomyopathies, MINOCA, & more! 📈 https://t.co/3IYChpA3G0 #CardioTwitter #CMR

🫀 Standard echo & 2DPC CMR can underestimate aortic regurgitation in patients with heart rate variability. Our new case report demonstrates how 4D-flow CMR reclassified AR severity from mild-mod to mod-severe (RF 38%), guiding timely intervention! 📊 Read the full case below 👇

The nature is smart
Blood doesn’t crash into the LV, it glides.
The anterior mitral leaflet quietly shapes inflow into a smooth arc, guiding it straight toward the LVOT.
Less turbulence. Less wasted energy. Elegant design.🍷🍷

[Journal of CMR @journalofCMR]

❤️ 🧲Where you measure matters: 4D flow CMR quantification of mitral regurgitation is most reliable near the vena contracta—standardization is key.

The Right Heart is NOT just a passive conduit. 🌊🫀

Our latest review in #EHJIMP describes how 4D Flow CMR reveals what standard imaging misses: RA vortex formation conserves energy, while PH destroys efficient flow (↓Direct Flow, ↑Residual Volume).

#EHJCVI 🧲 Is CMR redefining timing in chronic aortic regurgitation? A meta-analysis (~2,000 pts) shows CMR-derived AR fraction >33% is linked to ~4× higher risk, even in asymptomatic patients. CMR sharpens risk stratification beyond echo 👉 https://t.co/PB41reus88

[Alex Gall @AlexGall27]

Is 33% the new magic number in AR? 🤔🫀

Our #EHJCI meta-analysis (n=1,996) shows a CMR Regurgitant Fraction >33% predicts a 4-fold risk of adverse outcomes & surgery (HR 4.12).

Time to rethink intervention thresholds? 📉🧲https://t.co/0ki4J8gMTe #CMR @HEARTinMagnet

If you take a random troponin in 20k consecutive patients having a blood test for any reason (in 91% there was no clinical indication for hsTrop) then the result is associated with medium term mortality- both CV & nonCV… fascinating? ⁦@mmamas1973⁩ ⁦@JonathanWHinton⁩

[Dr Paddy Barrett @Paddy_Barrett]

It's the plaque rupture that causes the heart attack.

But you need plaque in the first place to rupture, and typically plenty of it.

The onset of plaque can be delayed to much later in life with aggressive risk factor control.

Great day presenting at #ESCCongress 2022, detailing cardiac complications of Lemierre's and the importance of multimodality imaging and utilising the MDT. @escardio @DrChrisMcAloon

Last shift at the BRI ✅ (for now...?)
Last shift as an SHO ✅

Onwards and upwards, @gloshospitals here we come. Definitely looking forward to a new challenge! #IMT3 #IMT3isthenewST3

So glad to have passed PACES 🎉🎉
Never had there been such excessive hype about one exam!
