EACVI Cardio Talk

With Giovanni Benfari, University of Verona, Verona - Italy, Marija Brestovac, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Zagreb - Croatia and Andreea Motoc, University Hospital (UZ) Brussels, Brussels - Belgium. 
The second episode of the EACVI Journal Club podcast is dedicated to the MAPLE-HCM trial—comparing aficamten with metoprolol in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and LVOT obstruction—alongside a methodological discussion on how to approach sample size calculation in clinical trials.

With Novi Yanti Sari, Siloam Hospitals Group, Jakarta - Indonesia and Gianluca Pontone, Monzino Cardiology Centre, Milan - Italy.
In this episode of advances in cardiovascular imaging, Novi Yanti Sari welcomes Gianluca Pontone to discuss the paper "Redefining the risk of major arrhythmic events in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy: insights from the DERIVATE-NICM study". The discussion focuses on the role of cardiac magnetic resonance, late gadolinium enhancement pattern distribution, and the DERIVATE Risk Score 2.0 for improving arrhythmic risk stratification and implantable cardioverter defibrillator selection in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

With Caroline van der Heijningen, University Hospital Antwerp, Edegem - Belgium and Elif Sade, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh - USA.
In this episode of Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging, Caroline van der Heijningen welcomes Elif Sade, lead author of the joint EACVI–EHRA clinical consensus document on multimodality imaging of the left atrium and left atrial appendage. The discussion provides an expert overview of the scientific rationale behind the document and its relevance in contemporary cardiovascular practice, particularly as an imaging companion to recent ESC guidelines on atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease.
