Subclinical Myocardial Impairment in Metabolic Diseases
Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are important contributors to nonischemic heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation. There is a 2- to 5-fold increase in HF associated with T2DM, and there is a 5% in HF risk in men and 7% increment in women for every unit increment in body mass index, after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Likewise, the risk of atrial fibrillation increases by about 6% per unit increase in body mass index. Metabolic cardiomyopathy leads to a number of changes in cardiac structure and function that can be recognized by imaging in the asymptomatic phase, and these ...

Impact of Longitudinal Lesion Geometry on Location of Plaque Rupture and Clinical Presentations
Conclusions Both clinical presentation and degree of flow limitation were associated with the location of plaque rupture. Longitudinal lesion asymmetry assessed by RG, which can affect regional distribution of hemodynamic stress, was associated with the location of rupture and with clinical presentation.

Noninvasive CT-Derived FFR Based on Structural and Fluid Analysis: A Comparison With Invasive FFR for Detection of Functionally Significant Stenosis
Conclusions CT-FFR based on alternative boundary conditions and reduced-order fluid model is feasible, highly reproducible, and may be accurate in detecting FFR ≤ 0.8. It requires a short processing time and can be completed at point-of-care. Further validation is required in large prospective multicenter settings.

The Association of Secondhand Tobacco Smoke and CT Angiography-Verified Coronary Atherosclerosis
Conclusions The presence and extent of atherosclerosis were associated with the extent of SHTS exposure even when adjusted for other risk factors, further demonstrating the causal relationship of SHTS exposure and coronary disease.

Coronary Atherosclerosis T1-Weighed Characterization With Integrated Anatomical Reference: Comparison With High-Risk Plaque Features Detected by Invasive Coronary Imaging
Conclusions CATCH provided accelerated whole heart coronary plaque characterization with simultaneously acquired anatomical reference. CHIP detected by CATCH showed positive association with high-risk plaque features on invasive imaging studies. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Mechanisms of Effort Intolerance in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Combined Echocardiography and Cardiopulmonary Stress Protocol
Conclusions In patients with rheumatic MS, exercise intolerance is predominantly the result of restrictive lung function, chronotropic incompetence, limited stroke volume reserve, and peripheral factors, and not simply impaired valvular function. Combined stress echocardiography and cardiopulmonary testing can be helpful in determining mechanisms of exercise intolerance in patients with MS.

Pre-Load-Induced Changes in Forward LV Stroke and Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Echocardiographic Detection of the Descending Limb of Starling's Curve
Conclusions Heart failure patients with LV systolic dysfunction on the descending limb of the Starling curve can be recognized by the paradoxical decrease in LVSV despite PLL, and the prognostic predicting power is additive to the other traditional echocardiographic predictors. Also, our results suggest that functional mitral regurgitation is an important reason for the descending limb of the Starling curve, which is clinically recognized as the pre-load–induced decrease in forward LVSV.
