Peri-device leakage and delayed endothelialization of the Watchman device: a computed tomography study
ConclusionCCTA holds promise as an effective means of quantitatively assessing device endothelialization. Endothelialization advanced gradually over time, with PDL potentially impeding device endothelialization.Clinical relevance statementA comprehensive understanding of the correlation between endothelialization ratio, time, and residual shunt can establish a more dependable foundation for determining the appropriate anticoagulation treatment following left atrial appendage closure.Key PointsCurrent recommendations for postleft atrial appendage occlusion anti-platelet and anticoagulation therapy are based on animal studie...

CT venography for the diagnosis of postpartum venous thromboembolism: a prospective multi-center cohort study
ConclusionPerforming CTV in women suspected of postpartum PE doubles the detection of venous thromboembolism, at the cost of increased radiation exposure.Clinical relevance statementCTV can help in the decision-making process concerning curative anticoagulation in women with suspected postpartum PE, particularly those whose CTPA results are indeterminate or whose PE is limited to the subsegmental level.Key PointsPostpartum women are at risk of pulmonary embolism, and CT pulmonary angiography can give equivocal results.CT venography (CTV) positivity increased the venous thromboembolism detection rate from 5.7 to 11.4%.CTV m...

Coronary computed tomography angiography-derived total coronary plaque burden associated with subsequent cardiovascular outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionSelected pre-PCI CCTA-derived variables, including total percent atheroma volume, volumes of total plaque, total low-attenuation plaque and total fibrous plaque, were significantly associated with MACEs after PCI, suggesting that CCTA before PCI reveals the residual risk after revascularization.Clinical relevance statementThe coronary plaque burden variables derived from coronary computed tomography angiography before percutaneous coronary intervention are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events, which could be instrumental in optimizing patient management.Key PointsCoronary plaque burde...

Artificial Intelligence in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: Is it Ready for Prime Time?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review evaluates how Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhances atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment, allows for opportunistic screening, and improves adherence to guidelines through the analysis of unstructured clinical data and patient-generated data. Additionally, it discusses strategies for integrating AI into clinical practice in preventive cardiology.Recent FindingsAI models have shown superior performance in personalized ASCVD risk evaluations compared to traditional risk scores. These models now support automated detection of ASCVD risk markers, including coronary ...
