ACC shares updated recommendations for managing HFpEF

A team of specialists detailed new data and recent breakthroughs in the diagnosis, management and treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Ahmad M. Slim, MD, FACC, FASNC, FSCCT, chair of the SCCT Health Policy and Practice Committee, Chief Medical Officer at Pulse Heart Institute, and associate professor of medicine, University of Washington, delivered a state of the union for coronary CT angiography (CCTA) policy, changes in payment models, advocacy effort, and payer engagement during the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 2026 annual meeting. #SCCT #SCCT2026 #YesCCT #CCTA

SCCT highlights payment gains, policy challenges as coronary CT use surges

An increase of nearly 200% in the use of CCTA over the past year has driven policy changes.

Yader Sandoval, MD, FACC, FSCAI, an interventional cardiologist at the Minneapolis Heart Institute, and an adjunct associate professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic, explains how coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is being used increasingly to pre-plan percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

CCTA being used more and more to plan ahead before complex PCI

Interventional cardiologist Yader Sandoval, MD, discusses the growing trend of using CCTA imaging to plan ahead before complex PCI procedures.

Ron Blankstein, FACC, FASNC, FSCCT, FASPC, associate director of the cardiovascular imaging program, Director of Cardiac Computed Tomography, professor of medicine for cardiology and radiology at Harvard Medical School, and former president of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT), provided an overview of how coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has made rapid advances over the past 20 years and may soon become a paradigm shift in cardiovascular prevention pandemics patient care.

Coronary CT imaging is reshaping cardiovascular prevention

Cardiac imaging expert Ron Blankstein, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, provides an overview of how CCTA may soon become a paradigm shift in cardiac prevention.

Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is emerging as a powerful tool not only for diagnosing coronary artery disease, but also for tracking how patients respond to preventive therapies over time, according to Mark G. Rabbat, MD, FACC, FAHA, FSCCT, professor of medicine and radiology and director of cardiac imaging at Loyola University Medical Center.

CCTA highlights plaque regression due to treatment

CCTA can show the regression of atherosclerosis due to drug therapies over time, so it may be a good tool to identify those patients who need of more aggressive therapy.

ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam

European Society of Cardiology announces late-breaking trials for ESC Congress 2026

ESC received a record number of late-breaking trial submissions for this year's annual congress. The four-day event kicks off Aug. 28 in Munich.

ynthia McCollough, PhD, FAAPM, FACR, FAIMBE, professor of medical physics and biomedical engineering, and director of the CT Clinical Innovation Center and X-ray imaging core at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, has been working on conventional CT and photon-counting CT research for years. She shares and overview of the advantages of photon-counting CT scanners as compared to conventional EID (energy-integrating detector) technology.

Photon-counting CT vs. conventional detector technologies

Computed tomography research medical physicist Cynthia McCollough, PhD, Mayo Clinic, explains the advantages of photon-counting CT systems.

Matthew Budoff, MD, FACC, FAHA, FSCCT, a professor of medicine at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Endowed Chair of Preventive Cardiology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, and former SCCT president, explains how new CCTA technologies will change cardiac preventive care.
