Hot of the press! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… 🔥Very important paper >autoimmunity & athero: tour de force w/ CCTA and CAC severity/plaque burden led by Martin Bødtker Mortensen and others. Awareness is KEY & need for ongoing mechanistic work in #cardiorheum.

Well done to Adam Hartley and the great team today for a really progressive experimental paper rdcu.be/dO6Rr out today. Thanks to the British Heart Foundation for their support and all the team NHLI and Imperial NHS 💙 Scientific Reports for supporting our work.

New collaborative work with Jason Tarkin lab linking immune dysfunction and cardiac MRI abnormalities in people with unexplained cardiovascular symptoms after COVID-19 infection.

Incredibly proud of my friend and colleague Neil Craig for a fantastic #ESCongress YIA presentation on PET assessments of fibroblast activation in the valve & myocardium in #AorticStenosis 👏🏼 🫀 Fantastic images & discussion, 10/10 for using a photo of Skye as the background!

We are delighted to see Ziad Mallat Rouchelle Sriranjan Rothwell & team from #HLRI sharing their fabulous work on the IVORY trial with delegates at #ESCCongress - this is exactly what VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute is all about! #TranslationForPatientBenefit Cambridge University NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre British Heart Foundation National Institute for Health and Care Research

🚨📢 Listen up cardiovascular imagers!! 👀🫶 The @BSClmaging online education team are proud to announce the launch of the BSCI Moodle platform: the largest collection of #cvi lectures in the UK - all given by experts in the field and free to all members. Happy learning!

In HTx recipients, FAI was an independent predictor of MACEs and allograft rejection. FAI assessment could be part of CCTA analysis in routine surveillance of HTx recipients, potentially improving pts' care. bit.ly/4g81p2X #JACCIMG #ESCCongress Angelo Sansonetti
