World No To***co Day (May 31), led by World Health Organization, highlights the global impact of to***co and ni****ne use, which remains a major contributor to cardiovascular disease worldwide. 🚭

New data are concerning: 40 million children aged 13–15 use to***co products globally, including 15 million using e-cigarettes, and in some regions youth are 9× more likely than adults to v**e. To***co companies continue to market flavoured and “innovative” ni****ne products in ways that may appeal to younger populations!

New ACC/JACC Poster Contribution highlights a systems-based approach to improving cardiac MRI efficiency and access 🫀

Using pathology-driven protocols, structured pre-scan review, and remote scanning support, the team reported a ~38% reduction in scan time alongside expanded service capacity.

An exciting example of how imaging workflows and digital infrastructure intersect in modern cardiovascular care.

Post-CABG NSTE-ACS remains one of the most challenging groups in the cath lab, and practice variation reflects that uncertainty.

In the latest Heart podcast, Prof. James Rudd and Dr Matthew Kelham discuss how CTCA may help reduce unnecessary angiography and better identify patients most likely to benefit from PCI.

The team also discusses the next step: a prospective CTCA-first trial that is now recruiting patients.

A newly accepted manuscript highlights the potential of accelerated dual-VENC 4D-flow MRI to improve comprehensive flow assessment in complex congenital heart disease (CHD). 🫀

In CHD imaging, clinicians often need to evaluate both high-velocity arterial jets and slow venous circulation within the same examination - a longstanding challenge for conventional single-VENC 4D-flow MRI acquisitions. Dual-VENC approaches aim to expand the measurable velocity range within a single free-breathing scan, with the potential to improve workflow efficiency and hemodynamic assessment.

In this feasibility study, the authors found that low-VENC imaging improved velocity-to-noise ratio and reduced variability in slower venous flows, while high-VENC remained necessary for accurately capturing arterial flow jets. Together, the findings support the feasibility and potential clinical utility of dual-VENC 4D-flow MRI in complex CHD.

Post hoc analysis from the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology explored whether achieved LDL-C levels after CABG are linked to saphenous vein graft (SVG) patency.

In the NEWTON-CABG CardioLink-5 trial, patients receiving evolocumab evolocumab or placebo showed no difference in overall graft outcomes. However, when looking at achieved LDL-C at 3 months, a clear pattern emerged: lower LDL-C was associated with less SVG occlusion at 2 years, independent of treatment assignment.

Each 1 mmol/L reduction in LDL-C was associated with improved graft patency (OR 0.74, P=0.005).

While post hoc, these findings reinforce a consistent message in post-CABG care—lower achieved LDL-C may translate into better graft outcomes and supports guideline-driven lipid lowering in high-risk patients!

Could a contrast-free oxygenation-sensitive CMR sequence contain more diagnostic information than we realize? 🫀

A new study in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance explores whether deep learning can identify myocardial pathology directly from native oxygenation-sensitive (OS)-CMR images.

Using a framework called “DeepOxyMap,” investigators classified ischemic, non-ischemic, inflammatory/edematous, and healthy myocardium from OS-CMR alone — while activation maps demonstrated spatial correspondence with expert-defined LGE and T2 abnormalities.

Importantly, this is not presented as a replacement for established tissue characterization techniques or current multi-sequence workflows. Rather, the work suggests that OS-CMR may contain latent phenotype-specific information that AI can help uncover.

For centres already exploring BOLD/OS-CMR, this paper may add to the growing conversation around:
• contrast-free imaging approaches
• AI-enabled tissue characterization
• physiologic myocardial assessment
• and future ultra-efficient CMR workflows

The study remains early-stage and will require larger multi-centre validation, but it offers an intriguing glimpse into what may become possible as AI and advanced CMR continue to evolve together.

☀️ With warmer weather arriving, this article from the European Heart Journal reminds us that heat stress can have serious effects on heart health. 🫀

Researchers reviewed 266 studies and found that for every 1°C increase above local heat thresholds, cardiovascular deaths rose by 2.1%, with greater increases seen for stroke and acute coronary syndrome.

Heat exposure may also increase the risk of arrhythmias, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and other heart-related complications. Air pollution can further amplify these effects by increasing inflammation and stress on the body.

Warmer days are a great opportunity to get outside and stay active - but they’re also a reminder to stay hydrated, limit heat exposure, recognize warning signs, and talk to your care team about the best ways to protect your heart health!

🔥 New paper from EHJ Imaging Methods & Practice comparing echocardiography, 2D flow CMR, and 4D flow CMR after percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI). 🫀

While this was a relatively small cohort, the study demonstrated feasible post-PPVI assessment with both 2D and 4D flow CMR despite valve stent artefact, with good agreement between flow techniques and quantitative flow measurements.

For imaging programs building advanced flow capability, this study adds to the growing evidence supporting 4D flow CMR in longitudinal surveillance after PPVI and repaired congenital heart disease. Review the Methods section to see the authors’ approach to acquisition, analysis, and imaging location in post-PPVI flow assessment.

From a referral perspective, the paper demonstrates where CMR can add value - especially when echocardiographic findings are inconclusive, RV quantification or pulmonary regurgitation assessment is needed, or a more comprehensive haemodynamic evaluation is desired within a single exam.
