TL;DR: High Field ex vivo MRI was able to quantify different LA myocardial components with high agreement in 2D with histology and moreover to provide 3D quantification of such components whereas in vivo application remains a challenge.

TL;DR: The ATLANTIS (Anti-Thrombotic strategy to Lower All Cardiovascular and Neurologic Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Events After Transcatheter aortic valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis) trial demonstrated that apixaban 5 mg twice daily was not superior to standard of care (vitamin K antagonists or antiplatelet therapy) after successful TAVR and was associated with similar safety but with more noncardiovascular deaths as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: MR relaxometry parameters applied to the myocardium and skeletal muscles might be useful to separate IIM patients from healthy controls, however, different tissue composition and vascularization should be taken into account for their interpretation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that increased CATi and interleukin-6 levels were associated with increased early mortality and ICU-requirement in COVID-19 diabetic patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new approach to quantify the amount and type of truncal adipose tissue (AT) automatically from MRI in metabolic patients and controls, which can serve in the future as a noninvasive predictor of cardiovascular complications in such patients.
