Hybrid cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT imaging allows combined assessment of anatomical and functional aspects of cardiac disease. In coronary artery disease (CAD), hybrid SPECT/CT imaging allows detection of coronary artery stenosis and myocardial perfusion abnormalities.

Ectopic fat deposition has been associated with lipotoxicity and derangement in local and systemic metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiac dysfunction, atherosclerosis, local, and systemic inflammation. The mechanisms and potentially detrimental effects of such an accumulation should be fully investigated in order to establish preventive strategies ...

The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
peer reviewedThe term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive ...

Artificial Intelligence in Cardiac Imaging [PDF]
Machine learning (ML), a subset of artificial intelligence, is showing promising results in cardiology, especially in cardiac imaging. ML algorithms are allowing cardiologists to explore new opportunities and make discoveries not seen with conventional ...

Cardiac hybrid imaging combines different imaging modalities in a way where both modalities equally contribute to image information. The most common and best-studied approach is to combine computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial perfusion imaging either with single-photon emission computed tomography or with positron emission ...

Cardiac Imaging in Athletes [PDF]
Athletic heart syndrome refers to the physiological and morphological changes that occur in a human heart after repetitive strenuous physical exercise. Examples of exercise-induced changes in the heart include increases in heart cavity dimensions, augmentation of cardiac output, and increases in heart muscle mass.

A review of heart chamber segmentation for structural and functional analysis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a key imaging modality in clinical cardiology practice due to its unique capabilities for non-invasive imaging of the cardiac chambers and great vessels. A wide range of CMR sequences have been developed
