🧠CMR revealed mid ventricular HCM associated with an apical aneurysm

⚠️ Why it matters:
↑ Risk of ventricular arrhythmias and SCD
↑ Risk of apical thrombus & embolism

🫀 #CardioNugget:

Calcium “Blooming” on Cardiac CT

CT pixels (voxels) average everything inside them.
➡️ If calcium + soft tissue share a voxel → calcium dominates the signal.
⚡ Result: calcium looks bigger than it is (“blooming”), blurring lumen edges & exaggerating stenosis.
👉 Remember: blooming = voxel averaging artifact, not always true narrowing.

How can we non-invasively detect elevated LA pressure in #AFib pts?
✅ Septal E/e′ ≥11 = best single parameter
✅ Stepwise algorithm combining E/e′, LA strain & LAVI boosts accuracy to 80%!

💡Carpentier I + Carpentier II + Carpentier IIIb.
When mitral valve includes all the aspects of Carpentier Classification by 2D/3D TOE study:
1⃣ Annulus dilatation
2⃣ P2 chorda rupture
3⃣ Bileaflet tethering (LV dilatation, AML seagull sign with secondary chordae tethered, P3 tethering)

New insights from #WhyCMR after #STEMI? Sequential assessment by CMR demonstrates that MVO can persist in a chronic phase in a small percentage of pts w/ reperfused STEMI, & this exerts deleterious effects in terms of adverse LV remodeling https://t.co/Eb2Sq4zzBO #JACCIMG
