Thrilled to have presented my poster on T-TEER in Orthotopic Heart Transplant Recipients at #ACC2025! Houston Methodist CV Sachin Goel

Wrapped up an incredible #ACC2025! Honored to present two posters about CMR and CCT readers. Grateful for Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc mentorship and support! Glad to share this experience with an amazing team! Maria Alwan Ahmed Sayed Asim Shaikh American College of Cardiology Houston Methodist CV

How has cardiac imaging evolved in the US over the past decade❓ 1/3🧵 ⏫Rapid rise in the rates of CT, PET, and CMR. ⏬In contrast, SPECT volumes have gone down: 📜Link: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Happy to present our abstract on the importance of multimodality imaging in the evaluation and management of paravalvular leaks post-TAVR at #ACC2025. Grateful for all the opportunities and support WilliamZoghbi, and proud to be part of the Houston Methodist CV team!

Grateful for the opportunity to present a case at the FIT Show-a-Case session ASNC Society. Thankful for the incredible mentorship of Dr. Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc and to the ASNC team for organizing such an educational and engaging session! #ACC25 #ASNC

Wrapping up #ACC25 with posters on: 1️⃣ Women’s underrepresentation in cardiac imaging 2️⃣ Role of AC & prone imaging in SPECT MPI Grateful for the unwavering support of Dr. Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc Huge shoutout to the amazing team Asim Shaikh Ahmed Sayed Ahmad El Yaman Houston Methodist CV

What a wonderful time presenting at #ACC25. -No difference in outcomes btw Stress Only Spect Imaging V Stress/Rest Imaging if first scan is normal. Thankful to my mentor Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc for the constant support and guidance, and my team alwan maria Ahmad El Yaman Ahmed Sayed

How have HCM mortality rates changed before and after COVID ❓ 1⃣ Prior to COVID, mortality rates declined by ~ half📉 2⃣ After COVID, mortality rates increased by ~30%, partially undoing some of the prior reductions in HCM mortality.📈 Open access📜: ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

PET-derived global MFR is inversely associated with subsequent cardiovascular outcomes in all BMI categories Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc Houston Methodist MD Houston Methodist CV Read now👉bit.ly/4lBHcFq #cvnuc

For ASNC Society PET Workshop: James Chase & Mouaz Al-Mallah (Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc) compared Rb-82 & Flurpiridaz for myocardial perfusion. Flurpiridaz shines with ~94% extraction fraction & better image resolution, promising enhanced cardiac PET imaging. #CvNuc #ThinkPET #Flurpiridaz

💡Flurpiridaz PET From ASNC Society PET Workshop: Start the scanner before injecting the 2nd dose to capture residual activity. ✅Enables residual subtraction → accurate MBF Left: No subtraction = overestimated MBF Right: With subtraction = true MBF Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc Edward Miller, MD PhD

💡True apical defect or apical thinning? Check reversibility: • Reversible➡️ischemia • Fixed➡️check gated images – Preserved apical contraction→ thinning – Defect resolves with myocardial thickening in ES→ thinning ⬅️Thinning |True defect➡️ ASNC Society Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc Edward Miller, MD PhD

From ASNC Society PET workshop: Always check defect zones 👀 LCX global flow looks normal — no ischemia at first glance But regional perfusion & iMFR show a focal defect in LCX 👉 Global flow can miss focal ischemia Parthiban Arumugam Dennis Calnon Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc Edward Miller, MD PhD

#EHJCVI 🧱 What’s the interplay between CAC, MFR and cardiovascular events? CAC density is inversely associated with outcomes, while CAC volume is positively associated 📈 Were these significant after adjusting for MFR and other factors? Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…

New findings out —rest flow matters! Grateful to be part of this amazing team 🌟

🔥New data: In 2022, only 14.2% of cardiac imagers were women—up from 10.5% in 2013. 📉 Representation remains low in: •PET: 10.5% •SPECT: 12.6% •Interventional echo: 6.5% 🧠 More women are entering imaging—but gender gaps persist, especially in multimodality & leadership

On PET, how does MFR change across the BMI spectrum? Does BMI modify the association between MFR & adverse outcomes? All the answers & more can be found in this new publication by Mahmoud Al Rifai, MD, MPH, et al. Read now👉bit.ly/44J1d54 Kershaw Patel Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc

ICYMI: Cardiac PET & PET/CT have earned 🆕 indications in recently published guidelines from the ACC/AHA, European Society of Cardiology, & the The ISHLT. To help you translate these recommendations into practice, Journal of Nuclear Cardiology published a State-of-the-Art Review article documenting where PET is now
