LV-GLS is increasingly reported on #CMR for risk stratification. In this #JACCIMG editorial I cover potential benefits and caveats of this emerging technique. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31954649

#metabolic_health and #obesity play a crucial role in #CVD risk. Four metabolic phenotypes exhibit distinctly different risk for prevalent #CAD and incident #CVD events in stable chest pain patients.

Important sex differences in #adiposity associated #CVD risk when comparing visceral adipose tissue on CT with #BMI. Should we keep defining #obesity purely based on #BMI in men and women? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33998254/ MGH Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center JAHA Kardiologie MedUni Wien Forschung
