In a retrospective study of 100 patients with known or suspected myocarditis, identifying metabolic activity (focal FDG uptake) that aligned with structural tissue damage (LGE) unmasked a high-risk phenotype.

Dr. Omar Abouezzeddine: Hereditary disease mimicking cardiac sarcoidosis? 6 red flags: 🚩 Heart-only disease 🚩 Discordant course 🚩 Electrical burden 🚩 Recurrent myo(peri)carditis 🚩 Modest/atypical LVH 🚩 Family history Consider genetic evaluation! #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

💡 Dr. Brittany Weber on rheumatoid arthritis: 🫀 49% had CMD (MFR <2.5), despite a median estimated 10-year ASCVD risk of 2.5% 💉 After 24 weeks of TNF inhibition, inflammatory markers fell, but MFR did not improve #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

In 366 lymphoma patients receiving anthracyclines, abnormal cardiac FDG uptake pattern changes were more frequent in those with therapy-related CV toxicity: 24.4% vs 8.0% (P=0.001). Insights from Dr. Kshama A. Wechalekar at #ASNC2026. @MyASNC

💡Takeaway from Dr Hyafil WBC-SPECT for device infection 🎯 High specificity, but lower sensitivity than FDG-PET 🔬 Second-line due to procedural complexity 🤝 Interpret together with FDG PET 📊 May aid PVE risk stratification, though evidence remains limited #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

💡 Dr. Omar Abouezzeddine's takeaways: 🔬 PET maps activity, not etiology 🔍 Scan–phenotype discordance? Reconsider the diagnosis 🧬 Genetics changes care and family screening Not every FDG-positive heart is cardiac sarcoidosis! #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

FDG-PET preparation depends on the indication! 🔹 Oncology: optimize tumor-to-background contrast 🔹 Viability: enhance myocardial uptake 🔹 Inflammation: suppress physiologic myocardial uptake Great overview by Dr. Kshama A. Wechalekar! #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

💡 Dr. Brittany Weber on cardio-rheumatology: 🫀 Autoimmune disease affects 5–8% of the population 📈 Linked to greater coronary atherosclerosis and higher CV risk 🔍 CV risk remains underestimated—we need better risk prediction! #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

Great session at #ASNC2026 @MyASNC on infection imaging with FDG 👉Patient prep is important 👉Whole body imaging to look at septic embolization is important 👉Use of Cardiac CTA is very useful when looking for para valvula abscess

💡 Imaging suspected CIED infection (Dr. Fabien Hyafil) 🔍 FDG-PET: sensitivity 80%, specificity 91% 🎯 WBC-SPECT/CT: sensitivity 60%, specificity 100% Both were less sensitive for lead infection, while WBC-SPECT/CT was highly specific for pocket infection. #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

💡 Dr. Roxana Campisi: Two FDG-PET/CT confounders in graft imaging: 1️⃣ Graft material and surgical BioGlue 2️⃣ Early postoperative window Both may cause FDG uptake that mimics infection. 👉 Know the procedure and postoperative timing! #ASNC2026 @MyASNC

Dr. Donna Kimmaliardjuk reviewed STICH/STICHES and REVIVED-BCIS2 at #ASNC2026. Viability analyses found no significant interaction with revascularization benefit. STICHES showed a long-term survival benefit with CABG plus medical therapy. @MyASNC
