@TrackYourHeart 🤣 SR 84bpm…

[juko @JuKonradi]

66M with known chronic coronary syndrome s/p stenting. Mild chest pressure for several days, worsening over recent hours; presents with ongoing mild chest tightness. Direct cath lab, or troponin/echo first?

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

Thank you Eric for sharing this story. It happens every day

Positive CAC leads to a search for ischemia which leads to angiogram and scant few docs can resist the urge. Your pt was lucky as it can even lead to bypass

Something needs to be done about this evidence-free practice

[Sebastian Schäfer @drbasti]

@drjohnm and medical therapy remain key. Yet diagnosis itself can have rpsychological consequences. Should we withhold serious diagnoses to preserve wellbeing? Difficult question. 2/2

[Sebastian Schäfer @drbasti]

@drjohnm This is a complex issue where our professional societies need to help define the best approach. We know that more atherosclerosis means higher risk, and higher stenosis severity increases the risk of ACS. Functional testing may not be the best surrogate for events. Lifestyle 1/2

[SABOURETCardiologist @SABOURETCardio]

Time exposure matters as one more time reported. But I m still convinced that #CVimaging may help to better refine the risk and to guide for the strategy, even if it will be challenging on a large scale. Use of #AI may decrease the costs and increase availability of resources

@ColletCarlos Are they using the dedicated Cardiac CT Arineta SpotLight (aka GE CardioGraphe CT)??

[Sebastian Schäfer @drbasti]

@circlecvi Thank you, @circlecvi for empowering us to reach the next level through your outstanding software and the new AI Plaque Tool. Our record of 41 flawless cardiac CT scans in a single working day would not have been possible without #Circle and Arineta‘s dedicated cardiac CT system

[Circle Cardiovascular Imaging @circlecvi]

Amazing gains in cardiac imaging efficiency! See how cvi42 | Plaque doubled Praxis Rheingalerie's CCT throughput (60→120+ cases/week) & cut plaque analysis time by >50%: https://t.co/RbF1S0tC0t

@ECMOKaragianni1 Im Gegenteil: Nichts ist stärker reguliert als die Ausgaben im Gesundheitswesen! Wir haben eine seit Jahrzehnten bekannte demographische Entwicklung… diese wurde schlicht ignoriert!

@BrunoRobalinho But anterior wall is damaged after 1 week. There is wall motion abnormality. Hope it’s just hibernating and not scar…

@DrMarthaGulati Be extremely cautious in interpreting results — likely only minimal effect size. Let’s see how the sponsor argues otherwise.

[Circle Cardiovascular Imaging @circlecvi]

Thousands of clinicians worldwide rely on cvi42 for advanced cardiovascular visualization and quantification.
