3D Morphological Changes in LV and RV During LVAD Ramp Studies
Conclusions The heart responds differently to pump speed changes with the 2 types of LVAD, as reflected by the volume and shape changes of both the LV and RV. Our study suggests that adding RV assessment to the clinical echo-ramp study may better optimize LVAD speed. Further study is needed to determine whether this would have an impact on patient outcomes. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Visceral Adiposity in Psoriasis is Associated With Vascular Inflammation by 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Beyond Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors in an Observational Cohort Study
Conclusions Volume-based CT measurement of VAT may capture metabolic risk associated with VI compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue in PSO. PSO treatment associated with a decrease in VAT as well as decrease in VI suggesting VAT as a relevant biomarker related to VI in PSO.

Prognostic Impact of Extent, Severity, and Heterogeneity of Abnormalities on 18F-FDG PET Scans for Suspected Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Conclusions Quantitative measures of extent and severity of perfusion–metabolism mismatch and coefficient of variation of FDG uptake provide an incremental prognostic advantage in patients undergoing FDG-PET for CS. These results support the use of a more detailed analysis of imaging findings, as is conventional in coronary artery disease.

Feasibility Evaluation of Myocardial Cannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Imaging in Obesity: A Translational Approach
Conclusions Noninvasive imaging of cardiac CB1-R expression in obesity is feasible applying [11C]-OMAR and PET/CT. These results may provide a rationale for further clinical testing of CB1-R-targeted molecular imaging in cardiometabolic diseases.

Colchicine Therapy and Plaque Stabilization in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A CT Coronary Angiography Study
Conclusions Our findings suggest, for the first time, that low-dose colchicine therapy favorably modifies coronary plaque, independent of high-dose statin intensification therapy and substantial low-density lipoprotein reduction. The improvements in plaque morphology are likely driven by the anti-inflammatory properties of colchicine, as demonstrated by reductions in hsCRP, rather than changes in lipoproteins. Colchicine may be beneficial as an additional secondary prevention agent in patients post-ACS if validated in future studies.
