Abstract

At the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress of this year 2019, held in Paris from August 31st to September 4th, 4509 abstracts were presented. Of those, 414 (9%) belonged to an imaging category. Experts in echocardiography (VD), nuclear imaging (AS), cardiac computed tomography (CT) (MD) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) (CBD), have selected the abstracts in their areas of expertise that were of most interest to them and are summarized in this bird's eye view from this ESC meeting. These abstracts were integrated by one of the Editors of the Journal (JB).

Keywords: CT; Echo; MRI; PET; SPECT.

Figure 1
Changes in regional left ventricular myocardial work in responder (A) and non-responder (B) to cardiac resynchronization therapy. The pressure-strain loops are shown for the global left ventricular (LV) cardiac constructive work (CW) (in red) and for the indicated segments (in green). In the responder patient (A), after implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy there is an increase in the LV CW and this is achieved by significant improvement in CW of the mid septal segment and normalization of the CW of the mid lateral segment. In the non-responder patient (B), the CW of the mid septal segment improves but the lateral wall remains impaired resulting in reduced LV CW.

18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography to predict progression of coronary calcification. Examples of two patients undergoing 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography (PET) and coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline and follow-up. The patient showing uptake of 18F-NaF (18F-fluoride positive) had progression of coronary calcification at follow-up whereas the patient without uptake (18F-fluoride negative) did not show changes.

Assessment of high-risk plaque features and coronary inflammation on computed tomography coronary angiography and prediction of major adverse cardiac events. (A) Shows the high-risk plaque features (HRP) combined with the assessment of perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI). (B) shows the Kaplan Meier curves for occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events; patients with HRP features and coronary inflammation based on FAI had significantly worse prognosis as compared to the other groups of patients.
