Mount Sinai to present clinical findings at American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions 2017

March 15th, 2017

Physicians, fellows, and researchers from Mount Sinai Health System will present research updates and clinical findings at the American College of Cardiology's 66th Annual Scientific Sessions in Washington, D.C., March 17-19, 2017.

Mount Sinai cardiologists are available to comment on breaking news at the session.

Additionally, Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief of The Mount Sinai Hospital, will be awarded the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award by the American College of Cardiology in honor of his lifetime of contributions to the cardiovascular profession on Sunday, March 19.

Significant scientific presentations and poster sessions include:

Section 1261M-05- Predictive Values of the Ideal Cardiovascular Health and the Fuster-BEWAT Scores for Detecting Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Healthy Individuals. (Saturday, March 18, 4 pm).
The study examines the predictive value of the Fuster-BEWAT score for predicting the extent of subclinical atherosclerosis in healthy individuals. Mount Sinai researchers include Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD.
Section 1310M-03- Subclinical Atherosclerosis in the Absence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Pre-Risk Status in PESA Study. (Sunday, March 19, 9:45 am).
The study aimed to identify determinants of subclinical atherosclerosis in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors and to explore the impact of upper normal ranges of cardiovascular risk factors. Mount Sinai researchers include Dr. Fuster and Javier Sanz, MD.
Session 1139M-05- Global Plaque Burden by Carotid and Femoral 3D Vascular Ultrasound: The PESA (Progression and Early Detection of Subclinical Atherosclerosis) Study. (Friday, March 17, 10:15 am.)
The study explored the feasibility of global plaque burden (GPB) quantification by carotid and femoral 3D vascular ultrasound and its potential additive value over detection of plaque presence alone. Mount Sinai researchers include Dr. Fuster.
Session 1118-207 Myocardial Oxygenation Using Blood Level-Oxygen Dependent Sequence in Magnetic Resonance Determines Myocardial Energetics and Capillary Density. (Friday, March 17, 10 am.)
The study seeks to validate if blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) cardiac magnetic resonant imaging can detect myocardial ischemia in 16 pigs. Mount Sinai researchers include Dr. Fuster and Roger Hajjar, MD.
