In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Professor Ron Blankstein, a leading authority in preventive cardiology and cardiac imaging at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. Together they trace the remarkable journey of cardiac computed tomography (CT) from a niche diagnostic test to an indispensable pillar of contemporary cardiovascular practice. Professor Blankstein shares the moving story behind his new textbook, a companion to the legendary Braunwald's Heart Disease, recounting his personal collaboration with the late Dr Eugene Braunwald, who initiated the project and remained meticulously involved in its development until his passing.
How has cardiac CT reshaped the diagnosis and management of coronary disease? What does the future of plaque analysis and photon-counting technology hold? And why should every cardiology fellow now consider CT essential to their training?
Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.
