Greetings and welcome to cardiac CT
0:02
and ischemic heart disease in the setting
0:04
of known coronary artery disease.
0:06
I'm Brian Gura,
0:07
and I'm a cardiovascular radiologist at Massachusetts
0:10
General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
0:13
Uh, I am currently the academic chief
0:15
of cardiovascular imaging, as well
0:16
as an associate chair in operations and analytics.
0:20
Um, the course, uh, we'll go through today, uh,
0:24
we'll focus on, uh, the philosophy of our training program,
0:28
which is really case-based review.
0:30
But we'll start with a brief didactic lecture
0:32
where we'll touch on some concepts
0:34
and then we'll apply it repeatedly through all the number
0:36
of, of cases that we'll go through with lots
0:39
of great, rich examples.
0:40
Um, we hope that this allows you to
0:44
both anchor on those concepts
0:45
and then apply them the,
0:47
just the way you will do in the reading room.
0:49
And, um, I think you'll find that ischemic heart disease,
0:52
as you probably know, is very common, one
0:54
of the most common, uh, causes of morbidity
0:57
and mortality in the Western world.
0:59
But you also see it's very straightforward.
1:01
So with this framework, we'll be able to work
1:03
through even some very complex cases.
1:05
Um, if you have anything, uh, like my work environment,
1:09
you'll see that cardiac CT is being used more and more.
1:12
And, uh, the, the cases are really everywhere you look even
1:15
outside of cardiac ct.
1:17
Um, but, uh, by using the, uh, the, the concepts, I think
1:21
what seems like a very, uh,
1:23
complex topic is actually extremely straightforward.
1:26
Uh, it's just the manifestations can
1:28
be, uh, pretty exciting.
1:30
Uh, so, uh, without further ado, let's get started
1:32
and go through some concepts.
