Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging and the Prediction of Heart Failure Progression in Preclinical Stage A/B Subjects
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) continues to grow as a cause of morbidity and mortality in our community and presents a significant public health problem, predominantly in individuals ≥65 years of age. Early intervention in asymptomatic HF subjects (Stage A/B) at risk of progression to symptomatic HF (Stage C/D) may provide an opportunity to halt this epidemic. The ability of cardiac imaging to assess cardiac structure and function permits early identification of those at increased risk of developing symptomatic HF. Systolic, diastolic, and structural left ventricular parameters each predict symptomatic HF, but no sing...

IVUS-Guided Versus OCT-Guided Coronary Stent Implantation: A Critical Appraisal
Abstract
Procedural guidance with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging improves the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by: 1) informing the necessity for lesion preparation; 2) directing appropriate stent sizing to maximize the final stent area and minimize geographic miss; 3) selecting the optimal stent length to cover residual disease adjacent to the lesion, thus minimizing geographic miss; 4) guiding optimal stent expansion; 5) identifying acute complications (edge dissection, stent malapposition, tissue protrusion); and 6) clarifying the mechanism of late sten...

Plaque Rupture in Coronary Atherosclerosis Is Associated With Increased Plaque Structural Stress
Conclusions
PSS is determined by plaque composition, plaque architecture, and lumen geometry. PSS and PSS variability are increased in plaques with rupture, particularly at proximal segments. Incorporating PSS into plaque assessment may improve identification of rupture-prone plaques. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Impact of Exercise on the Relationship Between CAC Scores and All-Cause Mortality
Conclusions
In asymptomatic patients, self-reported exercise is a significant predictor of long-term outcomes. Prognostic value of the reported exercise is additive to the increasing degree of underlying atherosclerosis. Among patients with high CAC scores, exercise may play a protective role, whereas reported minimal or no exercise substantially increases clinical risk. Our results suggest there is clinical utility for the use of a simple single-item exercise questionnaire for such assessments.
