Just published online (open access): Contemporary distribution of CAC scores by age and sex among 18’225❗ European all-comers referred for cardiac imaging. Also check out our 👉 online calculator to obtain exact patient-specific CAC score percentiles. https://t.co/60IiLTkqjD
For those interested in or performing #ThinkPET MPI with 13N-ammonia. 👉Our recent publication provides reference values for quantitative MBF: https://t.co/vybWrKy8AE
📉 BMI the biggest factor influencing MBF
🔹 MFR with stable reference limits across a wide range of BMI
Happy FAPI!
Glad to share the current state-of-play and future directions of this exciting radiotracer in @JNCjournal.
A great treat mid on-call week to see this labour of love published :)

Don't forget to pre-order your copy of the EACVI Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology. A user-friendly guide to this ever-expanding field and an indispensable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of patients @alessia_gimelli@OxUniPress#CVImaging#CVNuc#EACVI
It has been a pleasure to serve as a Task Force Member for the 2024 🫀 #ESCGuidelines for the Management of Chronic Coronary Syndromes. https://t.co/MxDRczMCCR
Looking forward to new challenges, projects and collaborations. @ShehabAnwer@CardioZurich@Unispital_USZ@UZH_en
@chrisgraeni@RaberLorenz@biglermarius@snsf_ch@EHJCREiC We should probably rather call them "potentially malignant" until we obtain information on hemodynamics. Much like in CAD, knowing only the anatomy is likely insufficient.
What is the effect of i.v. beta-blockers on MBF during same-day hybrid CCTA/PET? Modest but non-negligible, particularly if quantitative measurements are around decision-making thresholds. Find out in our recent publication. https://t.co/PS9QoNGfq3 #YesCCT#ThinkPET@chrisgraeni
The hyperemic effect of adenosine seems to last much longer than expected. In some patients up to 20 min after the end of the infusion Potential implications especially for rapid stress-rest protocols; also for quantitative #CMR perfusion imaging! #YesPET

For once, an impression from outside the congress buildings. An exciting day at the #ESCCongress is drawing to a close. Now I guess, we all look forward to socializing over dinner in beautiful #Amsterdam. Until tomorrow... @escardio
