      Table of Contents Summary: In this study we evaluated 104 CT angiograms on patients with anomalous origin of the coronary arteries (AAOCA; 81 right and 23 left), with an emphasis on clinically useful measurements that have high reliability (intra-rater, inter-rater, and comparison with surgical measurements). We found that measurements of the intramural segment (e.g., proximal AAOCA dimensions and intramural length) had moderate-good reliability. The lack of difference in these measurements with/without nitroglycerin at the time of CTA (versus evidence of dilation in the non-intramural vessel) supports their clinical utility as measures of potential ischemic risk.

        Low socioeconomic-position (SEP) is associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Whether this is caused by earlier development of atherosclerotic calcifications is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between SEP and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in a population presenting with symptoms suggestive of obstructive coronary artery disease.

              Original TOC summary: We used SHAP, an explainable machine learning (ML) technique, to determine the risk predictive value and age interaction of coronary artery calcium (CAC) characteristics among 63,215 asymptomatic patients in the CAC consortium. The addition of CAC density and number of calcified vessels to an ML model with clinical characteristics ​+ ​CAC did not improve prediction for all-cause mortality (p ​= ​0.23), but did improve for cardiovascular mortality (p ​= ​0.03). Lower CAC density increased mortality, particularly very low CAC density ≤0.75, which occurred predominantly in CAC1-100. Explainable ML should be applied in clinical research for transparent predictive modeling.

                Subclinical leaflet thrombosis (LT) may occur following surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Computed tomography (CT) has become an established imaging modality to diagnose subclinical LT following bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement. Even so, there is a limited (but growing) experience in utilizing CT imaging for this indication. This review emphasizes a systematic approach to acquiring and analysing CT imaging for subclinical LT, highlighting evidence surrounding clinical sequelae of subclinical LT and anti-thrombotic implications following diagnosis.

                    Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) improves the quality of care for patients presenting with acute chest pain (ACP) to the emergency department (ED), particularly in patients with low to intermediate likelihood of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography Guidelines Committee was formed to develop recommendations for acquiring, interpreting, and reporting of coronary CTA to ensure appropriate, safe, and efficient use of this modality. Because of the increasing use of coronary CTA testing for the evaluation of ACP patients, the Committee has been charged with the development of the present document to assist physicians and technologists.

                      A 54-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of respiratory distress. His medical history included a melanoma on his back that underwent surgical excision one year ago and was disease-free at routine follow-up by the Oncology Department. A pulmonary angiography was performed by a non-gated chest computed tomography (CT) scan that reported possible pulmonary embolism. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed normal biventricular function (TAPSE 19 mm, S′ wave 11 cm/s), with mildly dilated right ventricle (RV) and an image suggesting possible thrombus in the right atrium.

                          A 16-year-old man underwent venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy due to hemodynamic collapse caused by viral fulminant myocarditis. Supplementary Figure 1 presents the time course of treatment. High-density areas wtihin the myocardium were initially detected by computed tomography (CT) 10 days after admission which was not observed on admission (Fig. 1A). The CT tissue attenuation value reached 106 Hounsfield Unit (HU) in these areas 40 days after admission (Fig. 1B), with changes in the left lateral wall being more evident than other areas.

                              Inflammation surrounding the coronary arteries can be non-invasively assessed using pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCAT). While PCAT holds promise for further risk stratification of patients with low coronary artery disease (CAD) prevalence, its value in higher risk populations remains unknown.

                                Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the standard of care before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The aortic annulus undergoes conformational changes during the heart cycle. Therefore, the image acquisition time point can impact prosthesis sizing and fit. Clinical outcome data are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare systolic and diastolic cardiac CT data acquisition with regard to procedural and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis (AS).

                                  Atherosclerotic plaque characterization by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables quantification of coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and type, which has been demonstrated as the strongest discriminant of future risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). To date, there are no clinically useful thresholds to assist with understanding a patient's disease burden and guide diagnosis and management, as there exists with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. The purpose of this manuscript is to establish clinically relevant plaque stages and thresholds based on evidence from invasive angiographic stenosis (ICA) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) data.

                                    Pretest probability (PTP) calculators utilize epidemiological-level findings to provide patient-level risk assessment of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). However, their limited accuracies question whether dissimilarities in risk factors necessarily result in differences in CAD. Using patient similarity network (PSN) analyses, we wished to assess the accuracy of risk factors and imaging markers to identify ≥50% luminal narrowing on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in stable chest-pain patients.

                                      Cardiac screening using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in kidney transplant candidates before transplantation yields both diagnostic and prognostic information. Whether CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) analysis provides prognostic information is unknown. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of FFRCT for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in kidney transplant candidates.

                                          Both quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFRCT) have shown significant correlations with invasive wire-based fractional flow reserve. However, the correlation between QFR and FFRCT is not fully investigated in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation and agreement between QFR and FFRCT in patients with de novo three-vessel disease and/or left main CAD.

                                            Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and may provoke structural and functional changes in coronary vasculature. The coronary volume to left ventricular mass (V/M) ratio is a new anatomical parameter capable of revealing a potential physiological imbalance between coronary vasculature and myocardial mass. The aim of this study was to examine the V/M derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with diabetes.

                                              Myocardial strain is an established parameter for the assessment of cardiac function and routinely derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Novel post-processing tools allow deformation imaging also by 4D cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCT). This retrospective study aims to analyze the reproducibility of CCT strain and compare it to that of STE.

                                                Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation is an indicator of active inflammation of perivascular adipose tissue, which is supposed to increase in diabetic patients. We aimed to investigate the PCAT attenuation values and high-risk plaque (HRP) features in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects with different stenotic extents.
