Simon et al show 812 patients who underwent CCTA w photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) had ⬇️subsequent ICAs compared to patients scanned w (energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) & the difference was ⬆️in patients w excessive coronary calcification.

Findings from Argacha et al show FFR-CT can optimize patient selection for MR and reduce post-MR MACE, but not in severe OCAD.

Exciting findings from Koons et al. - Their study shows that PCD CT is more accurate in measuring artery stenosis compared to EID CT, a game-changer in clinical practice.

Daniel Lorenzatti, MD. Annalisa Filtz Pamela Piña S. Andrea Scotti Aldo L Schenone, MD

Exciting research by Lorenzatti et al! Virtual non-contrast reconstructions from multi-energy CT could revolutionize imaging, saving time and reducing radiation exposure. Check out the study here: ow.ly/GBBH50R1bwX

New meta-analysis by Sama et al reveals low burden of non-calcified plaque in asymptomatic patients w/ 0️⃣CACS. CCTA provides insight into obstructive CAD in low-risk individuals. Check out the study for more details: ow.ly/J6LH50R1ac6

Gabara et al. have derived and validated a novel and simple tool to use functional FFR-CT score that incorporates both burden of coronary stenosis severity and flow impairment to predict clinical events.

Tanaka et al investigate the association of mitral annular calcification (MAC) using cardiac computed tomography (CCT) with procedural and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
