Semi-Quantitative Scoring of Late Gadolinium Enhancement of the Left Ventricle in Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Consensus Statement from the Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging-Practical Tutorial (ASCI-PT) 2020
Full text linkThe Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging-Practical Tutorial (ASCI-PT) is an educational program of the ASCI School, which was founded in 2019. In 2020, ASCI-PT was held from November 23rd to 25th for the purpose of creating a consensus statement on semi-quantitative scoring for late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Eighteen panelists from five countries meticulously reviewed the existing guidelines and addressed seven issues to improve the communication of LGE interpretation and reduce inter-observer variability. All panels participated in online or offline sessions to build a consensus on LGE scoring. This summarizes the ASCI-PT 2020 proceedings and provides a consensus statement for conducting semi-quantitative LGE scoring.ope
Cardiovascular Imaging Asia: A New Era in the Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging
Full text linkThe Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASCI) is launching its own ASCI journal in 2017, Cardiovascular Imaging Asia (CVIA). The journal is published with an open access format, four times a year in January, April, July, and October. The CVIA will cover all aspects of technical and clinical communication on cardiovascular diseases and its related imaging sciences. Original research, review articles, pictorial essays, and a few selected case reports with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray imaging, interventional imaging, applications in nuclear cardiology and echocardiography, and any combination of these techniques will be included. The CVIA will be a leading journal in the field of cardiovascular imaging in Asia and will motivate the members of the ASCI to promote scientific activities.ope
The year 2020 in the European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging: part I
Full text linkInternational audienceThe European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging was launched in 2012 and has during these 9 years become one of the leading multimodality cardiovascular imaging journals. The journal is currently ranked as number 20 among all cardiovascular journals. Our journal is well established as one of the top cardiovascular journals and is the most important cardiovascular imaging journal in Europe. The most important studies published in our Journal in 2020 will be highlighted in two reports. Part I of the review will focus on studies about myocardial function and risk prediction, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging, while Part II will focus on valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart disease
How to conduct clinical research in cardiovascular imaging: a primer for clinical cardiologists and researchers-a statement of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) of the ESC
Full text link: This statement from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) of the ESC aims to address the fundamental principles that guide clinical research in the field of cardiovascular imaging. It provides clinical researchers, cardiology fellows, and PhD students with a condensed, updated, and practical reference document to support them in designing, implementing, and conducting imaging protocols for clinical trials. Although the present article cannot replace formal research training and mentoring, it is recommended reading for any professional interested in becoming acquainted with or participating in clinical trials involving cardiovascular imaging

Cardiovascular Imaging and Theranostics in Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy
Full text linkImaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular diseases. During the past two decades, there has been an expansion of the available imaging techniques, some of which are now part of routine clinical practice. Cardiovascular imaging of atherosclerosis is a useful instrument, and it can corroborate and expand pathophysiological evidence on cardiovascular disease, providing proof of concept for medical therapy and can predict its responsiveness, and it may be able to be used as surrogate endpoints for clinical trials. Theranostics is an emerging therapy that combines imaging and therapeutic functions, using imaging-based therapeutic delivery systems. Theranostics could partially overcome current imaging limitations and translate experimental evidence and large-scale trials assessing clinical endpoints, rationalising cardiovascular drug development and paving the way to personalised medicine. The medical community cannot overlook the use of cardiovascular imaging as a complementary and supportive adjunct to trials investigating clinical endpoints, which remain the mainstay for investigating the efficacy and safety of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy

Achieving Quality in Cardiovascular Imaging II Proceedings From the Second American College of Cardiology–Duke University Medical Center Think Tank on Quality in Cardiovascular Imaging
No full textDespite rapid technologic advances and sustained growth, less attention has been focused on quality in imaging than in other areas of cardiovascular medicine. To address this deficit, representatives from cardiovascular imaging societies, private payers, government agencies, the medical imaging industry, and experts in quality measurement met in the second Quality in Cardiovascular Imaging Think Tank. The participants endorsed the previous consensus definition of quality in imaging and proposed quality measures. Additional areas of needed effort included data standardization and structured reporting, appropriateness criteria, imaging registries, laboratory accreditation, partnership development, and imaging research. The second American College of Cardiology–Duke University Think Tank continued the process of the development, dissemination, and adoption of quality improvement initiatives for all cardiovascular imaging modalities
