Enhancing Clinical Practice: Key Insights from the Intersection of Cardiac Imaging and Procedural Planning

Circle Cardiovascular Imaging partners with inHEART to distribute AI-driven digital twin of the heart for advanced cardiac procedural planning in the electrophysiology lab!

On May 16, 2024, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc. and inHEART Inc. announced a global distribution agreement enabling Circle Cardiovascular Imaging to promote and market inHEART’s?advanced, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital twin of the heart through its worldwide sales network. ?

Alongside Circle’s market-leading MR and CT capabilities for coronaries, heart failure, and structural heart, this partnership empowers cardiovascular professionals with the tools and insights they need to deliver high-quality patient care while optimizing practice performance.?More info here.

Did you know? Circle is the exclusive provider of WATCHMAN? TruPlan?, the leading procedural planning software for Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC).

With TruPlan, you can swiftly and accurately evaluate LAA morphology and size, assess for thrombus, and develop a customized LAAC plan tailored to each patient's unique anatomy for your WATCHMAN? procedures. TruPlan offers innovative tools and features designed to enhance clinical guidance and ensure optimal outcomes. Plan your transseptal access with confidence and visualize the procedure with simulated Fluoro, TEE, and ICE views.?

Title: Advantages of a single imaging software platform for your entire cardiac service line

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the advantages of a single-vendor comprehensive imaging software solution for a Cardiac service-line focused approach to patient management.
• Understand the benefits of workflow efficiency using a unified multi-modal software platform for Cardiac image reading and reporting.
• Explore service-line focused Case Studies using Circle’s cvi42 software for Heart Failure, Structural Heart Disease, and Coronary Artery Disease.

Speakers: Dr. Tim Fairbairn, Dr. Mike Morris, Dr. Tim Albert

Did you know? cvi42 v6.1 includes the latest updates in CAD-RADS 2.0

The Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) was initially created in 2016 to help standardize reporting for patients undergoing coronary CTA, and to guide next steps in patient management. CAD-RADS 2.0 was updated recently with an additional classifiers to grade plaque burden and ischemia additional to the stenosis grading. cvi42 v6.1 includes the latest updates in CAD-RADS 2.0, which allow physicians to easily apply CAD-RADS scoring to their cardiac CT reports. See the guidelines for more information on how to apply CAD-RADS to your cardiac CT reads.

Unveiling Heart Risks: Key Insights on CMD and Diastolic Dysfunction in INOCA Patients

A recent study explored the connection between coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in INOCA patients. Key findings include:?

• LV global diastolic function remained unchanged in CMD patients.?
• Myocardial segments with CMD exhibited diastolic dysfunction.?
• Myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) was linked to LV diastolic function.?

These insights underscore the importance of assessing diastolic dysfunction in managing CMD.? Kong H, Cao J, Tian J, et al. Relationship between coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and left ventricular diastolic function in patients with symptoms of myocardial ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature-tracking. Clin Radiol. 2024;79(7):536-543. doi:10.1016/j.crad.2024.02.007

Assessing LV Function in Non-Compaction: MRI Study Insights

This recently published study explored how including or excluding trabeculations affects left ventricular (LV) function measurements in patients with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). Using cvi42, LV volume, mass, and ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed in 30 LVNC patients and 16 controls. The results showed that excluding trabeculations resulted in normal LVEF in both groups, while including trabeculations increased LVEF by 9.8% in LVNC patients but decreased it by 10.9% in controls. These findings indicate that trabeculation inclusion significantly alters LVEF measurements, providing valuable insights for diagnosing LVNC.?
