Advances in cardiovascular imaging - Ischaemia without obstruction: a false alarm?
EACVI Cardio Talk
With Sarah Birkhoelzer, Oxford University Hospitals, Oxford - UK, and Edgar Argulian, Mount Sinai Morningside, New York - USA. In this episode, we explore a study by Edgar Argulian published in European Heart Journal – Imaging Methods and Practice (2025), which challenges the assumption that myocardial ischaemia on exercise echocardiography (ExE) is benign when coronary angiography shows no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The study retrospectively analysed 84 patients with exercise-induced ischaemia but no obstructive CAD, subdividing them into those with normal coronaries (iNC)...
info_outlineWith David Bluemke, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health - USA, and Mihir Sanghvi, Queen Mary University of London - United Kingdom.
In this episode, Mihir Sanghvi interviews David Bluemke, a world leader in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. David discusses his role in the journey of CMR from rare technique to modality of choice in large-scale studies, how CMR research at population scale has benefitted cardiovascular science and provides insights from his years of international leadership roles to the next generation of cardiovascular imagers.
