@adnanalkhouli Always need to rule out vascular conditions with arteritis or periarteritis of the coronaries. Causes for coronary aneurysms include Takayasu’s, Giant cell, Polyarteritis nodosa, ANCA vasculitis, Behcet’s disease, IgG4 related, & Erdheime Chester.
Differentiating athlete vs hypertrophic heart is important & can be determined by strain imaging. Athletes may have similar values as controls & slightly higher than hypertrophic on strain imaging on echo.

Intriguing study: Machine learning predicting longevity from chest X-ray was much better than chronological age in predicting long-term all-cause & CV mortality. All the signals our bodies electrically emit & those captured via imaging are rich in data.

@2Scottish@jameshorowitzmd@OrenFriedman@adityasharmamd@LebenTefera@vic_tapson Most likely CTEPH. Recommend a VQ scan after 3 months of anticoagulation, as the Fifth World Symposium on PH reported in 2013, V/Q scanning is the preferred & recommended screening test for CTEPH as its far more sensitive than CTPA. Here’s a nice article: https://t.co/T2ky0z34o8

First line RX for a LV clot is anticoag; but, a large mobile clot often requires urgent surgical thrombectomy. This surgical option may be of interest.
