Echocardiography is an effective tool for diagnosing cardiovascular disease. However, numerouschallenges affect its accessibility, including skill requirements, workforce shortage, and sonographerstrain. Continue reading the full article by clicking here.
Arrhythmogenic-cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease with right, left,or biventricular (BVACM) involvement based on EKG, imaging, family history, andgenetic testing. We present a 64-year-old woman with prior myocarditis and diagnosisof BVACM 29 years later. We propose myocarditis as a promoter of gene expression ofplakophilin-2 mutation.

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is a marker of visceral obesity that can be measured in coronarycomputed tomography angiograms (CCTA). The clinical value of integrating this measurement in routine CCTAinterpretation has not been documented. Please click here to read the full publiation.
We present assessment of chest pain patients by multiparametric dobutamine stress echocardiography to differentiate inducible ischemia with obstructive coronary artery disease and with no obstructive coronary artery disease. In addition to the classical regional wall motion abnormality, we illustrate how coronary flow velocity reserve by Doppler echocardiography assists diagnosing coronary microvascular dysfunction.

There is a new release showing the reduced value of CT-FFR in chest pain assessment published as a pre release in JACC-Cardiovascular Imaging. The article can be found here.
Wearable devices could be used to continuously monitor vital signs in patients who are hospitalized, but theyrequire validation. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical validity of the prototype of a semiautomated wearable wrist device (ChroniSense Polso) to measure vital signs and provide National Early Warning Scores (NEWSs).

A 36-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 2-week history of palpitations in the context of 3 months of a dry cough, weight loss, and night sweats. The patient had no medical history, no recent foreign travel, and no contact with anyone who was unwell orwho had been exposed to tuberculosis. He had no … Read more
We are pleased to advise our latest case report has been published on the BMJ. We wish to raise awareness of the triad of life-threatening complication of ICI therapy that accounts for 30%–50% of fatal complications. Please click here to read the report on the BMJ.
The latest publication from the TCRG group is now available. It looks at how we can distinguish Type 1 from Type 2 Myocardial Infarction by Using CT Coronary Angiography. Please take a look via this link.
