Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography-Derived Plaque Characteristics Predict Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [Coronary Artery Disease]
Conclusions— These data demonstrate that HRP is most likely an independent predictor of MACE, which supports the inclusion of HRP reporting in clinical practice. However, at this point, it remains unclear whether HRP reporting has clinical implications. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Maintenance of Ideal Cardiovascular Health and Coronary Artery Calcium Progression in Low-Risk Men and Women in the Framingham Heart Study [Epidemiology]
Conclusions— Significant associations between an unfavorable CVH profile and CAC progression support public health measures that seek to prevent cardiovascular disease by promoting favorable CVH profiles in persons free of clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease.

Persistence of Infarct Zone T2 Hyperintensity at 6 Months After Acute ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Incidence, Pathophysiology, and Prognostic Implications [Magnetic Resonance Imaging]
Conclusions— Persistent T2 hyperintensity occurs in two thirds of STEMI patients. Persistent T2 hyperintensity was associated with the initial STEMI severity, adverse remodeling, and long-term health outcome. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02072850. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Defining Quality in Cardiovascular Imaging: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association [AHA Scientific Statement]
The aims of the current statement are to refine the definition of quality in cardiovascular imaging and to propose novel methodological approaches to inform the demonstration of quality in imaging in future clinical trials and registries. We propose defining quality in cardiovascular imaging using an analytical framework put forth by the Institute of Medicine whereby quality was defined as testing being safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, equitable, and efficient. The implications of each of these components of quality health care are as essential for cardiovascular imaging as they are for other areas within health ...

Diagnosis and Prognosis in Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivors Without Coronary Artery Disease: Utility of a Clinical Approach Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging [Magnetic Resonance Imaging]
Conclusions— CMR identified a likely pathogenesis for sudden cardiac arrest in nearly half of survivors in whom coronary artery disease had been excluded. One in 3 subjects had MACE; risk doubled in those with a CMR diagnosis and some CMR parameters—late gadolinium enhancement, left ventricular ejection fraction, and especially right ventricular ejection fraction—associated with prognosis.

Right Atrial Deformation in Predicting Outcomes in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension [Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension]
Conclusions— RA deformation properties are significantly altered in pediatric PH patients. Progressive worsening of RA reservoir and conduit functions is related to changes in right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. RA reservoir function, pump function, the rate of atrial filling, and atrial minimum volume emerged as outcome predictors in pediatric PH. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging)
