Evaluation of Coronary Inflammation with CT angiography and Fat Attenuation Indexing
Dr. Nero discusses evaluation of coronary artery disease and coronary inflammaiton with Dr. Cheerag Shirodaria from the University of Oxford. Dr. Shirodaria along with Prof. Charalambos Antonidies at Caristo Diagnostics have developed a ground breaking technology that allows us to evaluate not just the severity of a coronary artery lesion, but also how inflamed it is and how likely it is to cause fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction. In addition, since it is a biologically active "marker" the Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) can also be used a a way to evaluate success of medical intervention. Using computer post processing from standard 64 or 128 slice CT coronary angiography, they have been able to evaluate not just the vulnerable patient but also (possibly) the vulnerable plaque.

Future Pulse Cardiology Trailer
I’m Dr Thomas Nero. At Future Pulse our goal is to investigate the future of cardiovascular research and promote that discussion.
What is the next step and how will this trickle down to our clinical practice? What’s exciting and new in our field and why should we be interested.
We will also look at the other side of the equation: how are we going to get these ideas off the ground? How are we going to make the transition from theory to practice? These discussions will involve benchtop researchers and clinical researchers as well as Venture capitalists and Industry Leaders. We will pick the brains of our thought leaders, not just about where we are now but what the landscape will look like in the next 5-10 years. Cardiology is an exciting and quickly evolving field and cardiovascular research is in the vanguard. Come along with us and stay at the head of the pack
