KEY POINTS • Large-vessel vasculitides are a broad spectrum of diseases that can affect the aorta and its main branches. • Multimodality imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis…

KEY POINTS • ML and DL techniques are becomingly increasingly sophisticated. AI-based algorithms can be used to improve the accuracy of image processing, segmentation, and quantification and also allow for…

KEY POINTS • A diagnosis of PVE and CDI is sometimes difficult to reach when applying the classic modified DC, in which imaging criteria relies on ECHO alone. Nuclear medicine…

KEY POINTS • PAD is prevalent and associated with high morbidity and mortality but is frequently underdiagnosed. • Conventional approaches to diagnosis, including ABI and angiography (invasive and noninvasive), can…

KEY POINTS • Mechanical dyssynchrony relates to a delay in the timing of the contraction (systolic) or relaxation (diastolic) within the LV or between the RV and LV. • Mechanical…

KEY POINTS • Transthoracic echocardiography and CT-AVC are the current mainstream modalities for aortic stenosis evaluation, but PET imaging is emerging as a novel molecular imaging technique for assessing disease…

KEY POINTS • Radionuclide and multimodality imaging are essential to the care of patients at risk for incident cardiovascular disease during or after cancer treatment, either because of preexisting cardiovascular…

KEY POINTS • Nuclear cardiology currently evolves from assessing physiologic function and perfusion toward an interrogation of molecular pathways and pathophysiologic alterations at a (sub)cellular level. • Given a biphasic…

KEY POINTS • Clinical manifestations of CS include heart block, ventricular arrythmias, SCD, and HF. • Among patients with biopsy-proven or a clinical diagnosis of extracardiac sarcoidosis, any signs or…

KEY POINTS • Cardiac amyloidosis is often underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or diagnosed late in the natural course of the disease. • Accurate diagnosis and typing of cardiac amyloidosis are both critical…
