FDG Uptake by Prosthetic Arterial Grafts in Large Vessel Vasculitis Is Not Specific for Active Disease
Conclusions
Significant [18F]FDG uptake that is confined to arterial graft sites in patients with LVV does not reflect clinically relevant disease activity or progression. To minimize exposure to immunosuppression and in the face of negative blood culture, clinically quiescent arteritis, normal or stably raised C-reactive protein levels, we elected not to escalate treatment and monitor progression with MRA.

Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease by Coronary CT Angiography Improves Risk Stratification and Allocation of Statin Therapy
Conclusions
Detection of nonobstructive CAD by coronary computed tomography angiography improves risk stratification and permits individualized and more appropriate allocation of statin therapy across sex and ethnicity groups. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Pericardial, But Not Hepatic, Fat by CT Is Associated With CV Outcomes and Structure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Conclusions
Pericardial fat is associated with poorer CVD prognosis and LV remodeling, independent of insulin resistance, inflammation, and CT measures of hepatic fat. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Plaque Composition in the Proximal Superficial Femoral Artery and Peripheral Artery Disease Events
Conclusions
Among patients with PAD, LRNC in the SFA was associated with higher rates of clinical PAD events, and this association was independent of ABI. Further study is needed to determine whether interventions that reduce SFA LRNC prevent PAD events. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Myocardial Extracellular Volume Estimation by CMR Predicts Functional Recovery Following Acute MI
Conclusions
Acute infarct ECV in reperfused AMI can complement LGE assessment as an additional predictor of regional and global LV functional recovery that is independent of transmural extent of infarction. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

LA Phasic Volumes and Reservoir Function in the Elderly by Real-Time 3D Echocardiography: Normal Values, Prognostic Significance, and Clinical Correlates
Conclusions
LA phasic volumes and reservoir functions assessed by RT3D echocardiography were strong independent predictors of cardiovascular events in a community-based elderly cohort. LAVimin and reservoir function assessment may improve cardiovascular outcome prediction over LAVimax. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Effect of Sex and Sporting Discipline on LV Adaptation to Exercise
Conclusions
Highly trained athletes generally show normal LV geometry; however, female athletes participating in dynamic sport often exhibit eccentric hypertrophy. Although concentric remodeling or hypertrophy in male athletes engaged in dynamic sport is relatively common, it is rare in female athletes and may be a marker of disease in a symptomatic athlete.
