- Coronary Inflammation Is Associated With Plaque Progression in Men With HIV. [Multicenter Study]
- CONCLUSIONS: Coronary inflammation, assessed by FAI, is independently associated with incident and progressive coronary plaque in men with HIV. These findings support a role for vascular inflammation in accelerated atherosclerosis in people with HIV and highlight FAI as a potential biomarker for risk stratification.

- Left Ventricular Remodelling in Mitral Valve Prolapse: More Than Volume Overload. [Multicenter Study]Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. 2026 Sep; 19(9):e019974.CC
- CONCLUSIONS: LV remodeling in MVP is a multifactorial process, where, especially in patients with Barlow disease, the associated mitral annular dilatation and larger prolapse volume drive LV dilatation beyond MR severity. In addition, a burden of ≥3% ventricular ectopy is strongly correlated with LV dilatation and dysfunction. Finally, a monogenic cardiomyopathy substrate appears unlikely.

- Beyond Doppler: Scalable AI Detection of LVOT Obstruction in HCM. [Journal Article]Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. 2026 Sep; 19(9):e019956.CC
- CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest LVOT physiology is encoded in routine 2-dimensional imaging and can be leveraged for clinically relevant gradient classification without Doppler input. The proposed artificial intelligence-guided strategy demonstrates substantial cost savings compared with the screen-all approach. By integrating complementary spatial-temporal information across multiple views, our approach generalizes robustly across populations and may enable real-time decision support, extend LVOT assessment to portable or resource-limited settings, and complement Doppler-based evaluation for longitudinal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy management.

- Impact of Myocardial Fibrosis and Female Sex on Life-Threatening Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death in Mitral Valve Prolapse. [Journal Article]Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. 2026 Sep; 19(9):e020017.CC
- CONCLUSIONS: In a large prospective cardiovascular magnetic resonance cohort of patients with MVP, female sex and myocardial fibrosis were each independently associated with life-threatening arrhythmic events. Their combination identified a subgroup at particularly elevated risk, highlighting the importance of integrating sex-specific factors and myocardial tissue characterization into MVP risk stratification strategies.

- Longitudinal [[18]F]FDG PET/MR Assessment of Arterial Inflammation in Patients With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In patients with prostate cancer, ADT is associated with consistent and progressive arterial inflammation, most prominently in carotid, iliac, and abdominal aortic regions. These findings support arterial inflammation as a potential imaging phenotype of ADT-associated cardiovascular risk.

- CONCLUSIONS: In patients with suspected ATTR-CM undergoing [99m]Tc-pyrophosphate SPECT/CT, the Mayo 3D Score demonstrated superior diagnostic performance compared with planar metrics and comparable to SPECT Perugini, while correlating with myocardial ATTR burden and deposition patterns on pathology. These findings support its integration as a quantitative adjunct within clinical diagnostic ATTR-CM workflows.
