🎯 Less is more in mitral regurgitation assessment In 177 patients undergoing near-simultaneous Echo & CMR, just 2 ASE criteria identified significant MR with 91–95% specificity. 🫀 Smarter integration, less quantification, greater diagnostic confidence doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmg.2026.…

🛏️ Want more stress-only SPECT? Turn the patient over. JNC, Houston Methodist: 14,274 patients with normal stress images. Share of stress-only studies: ⚪ No AC, no prone → 43.6% 🟢 AC + prone → 76% 📉 Tracer dose −35.6% 🔍 Why prone works Attenuation shifts or fades when the patient lies prone. A real defect stays put. Supine + prone quantification (Cedars-Sinai): specificity 65% → 86%. 📊 Is stress-only safe? In the JNC cohort, normal stress-only scans carried a similar prognosis to normal stress–rest scans, with or without AC or prone. The gain was largest in women, obese and older patients, and with EF ≥55%. ⚠️ Caveats Single centre, observational, not randomized. Prone has its own anterior artifacts: read it with supine and gated images, never alone. 💭 My take Stress-only is the cheapest radiation cut we have. Prone and AC are what make the "no rest scan needed" call safe to make. 🗳️ Poll below 👇 📄 Alwan M, … Al-Mallah MH. J Nucl Cardiol 2025. Nishina H, … Berman DS.
