HIT communication paper: strategies and tips to increase your chances of winning an EACVI grant Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), a branch of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), is dedicated to promoting excellence in clinical diagnosis, research, technical development, and education in cardiovascular imaging (CVI). One of the ways EACVI achieves its goals are through the grants it provides to fund the professional development of young cardiologists in the field of non-invasive CVI. In the past 12 years, ...
Recommendations for the practice of echocardiography in infective endocarditis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Echocardiography plays a key role in the assessment of infective endocarditis (IE). It is useful for the diagnosis of endocarditis, the assessment of the severity of the disease, the prediction of short- and long-term prognosis, the prediction of embolic events, and the follow-up of patients under specific antibiotic therapy. Echocardiography is also useful for the diagnosis and management of the complications of IE, helping the physician in ...
Recent advances in visualizing vulnerable plaque: focus on noninvasive molecular imaging Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Traditional imaging methods in atherosclerosis have focused primarily on anatomic information. Imaging approaches that visualize molecular targets rather than anatomic structures may emphasize biologic aspects of atherosclerosis. Molecular imaging of atherosclerotic lesions has become a crucial experimental tool and is now emerging in the clinical arena. In this review, we briefly highlight the rationale and fundamental principles of molecular ...
The role of statin treatment in valvular heart disease: is the jury still out? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Valvular heart disease (VHD) represents a significant burden within the spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, there has been a great interest in finding medical treatments able to slow the progression of VHD. The negative results of several large randomized trials failing to demonstrate a benefit of such therapies, has led to a decrease of interest in this field. However, finding a medical treatment capable of preventing VHD ...
