Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cardiovascular risk in the absence of calcifications on computed tomography: the Western Denmark Heart Registry
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Coronary atherosclerosis tends to be non-calcified at early stages, questioning the implications of a coronary artery calcification score of zero (CAC = 0) at younger ages. This study investigates whether elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with the presence of non-calcified...

Point-of-care ultrasound can make the difference in patients with heart failure at primary care
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Primary healthcare centers (PHC) play a pivotal role in the first-line management of patients with diabetes and hypertension, major risk factors for heart failure (HF) development. Point-of-care cardiac ultrasound (POCUS), integrated as an extension of the physical examination, holds significant potential...
Incremental prognostic value of epicardial adipose tissue volume and thickness assessed by cardiac MRI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
This study aimed to investigate the prognostic and incremental value of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) parameters, including volume index (EATVI) and regional fat thickness, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods and results: In this...
