With Novi Yanti Sari, Siloam Hospitals Group, Jakarta - Indonesia and Gianluca Pontone, Monzino Cardiology Centre, Milan - Italy.

In this episode of advances in cardiovascular imaging, Novi Yanti Sari welcomes Gianluca Pontone to discuss the paper "Redefining the risk of major arrhythmic events in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy: insights from the DERIVATE-NICM study". The discussion focuses on the role of cardiac magnetic resonance, late gadolinium enhancement pattern distribution, and the DERIVATE Risk Score 2.0 for improving arrhythmic risk stratification and implantable cardioverter defibrillator selection in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

With Domenico Galzerano, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Riyadh - Saudi Arabia and Shantanu Sengupta, Nagpur - India.

In this episode of EACVI Coffee Break With, Domenico Galzerano launches the first interview of 2026, introducing a new series designed to connect the imaging community with global leaders in cardiovascular imaging. Joined by Shantanu Sengupta, President of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography, the conversation explores a distinguished career shaped by more than two decades of dedication to cardiac imaging and a longstanding fascination with ventricular mechanics.

With Vassilios Vassiliou, University of East Anglia, Norwich - UK and Sarah Birkhoelzer, University Dorset Hospital, Bournemouth - UK.

In this episode of EACVI Cardio Talk On-the-Go, Sarah Birkhoelzer and Vass Vassiliou speak about the ESC consensus statement on cardiovascular disease prevention and management in the COVID-19 era. The discussion focuses on COVID-19 as a long-term cardiovascular risk, with complications such as myocarditis, heart failure, arrhythmias, thrombosis, autonomic dysfunction, and cardiac Long COVID.

The episode emphasises the pivotal role of cardiovascular imaging in post-COVID care, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing for diagnosis, risk stratification, rehabilitation planning, and return-to-exercise decisions.

Key themes include the importance of prevention strategies, vaccination, and guideline-directed therapy, alongside practical considerations for imaging specialists and clinicians managing persistent symptoms after infection.

With Sarah Birkhoelzer, University Dorset Hospital, Bournemouth - UK, Nina Ajmone Marsan, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden - The Netherlands, Mark Dweck, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh - UK, and Mark Westwood, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London - UK.

In this episode of EACVI Cardio Talk On-the-Go, Sarah Birkhoelzer is joined by the three EACVI Vice-Presidents: Nina Ajmone Marsan, Mark Dweck, and Mark Westwood. Together, they provide a special summary of the EACVI Congress that took place in December 2025. They delve into the key scientific messages emerging from the conference and discuss how EACVI continues to shape the future of cardiovascular imaging through collaboration, innovation, and education.

This episode sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on the conference highlights, multidisciplinary perspectives, and the evolving role of imaging in modern cardiology. Listeners are invited to stay connected with the EACVI community and engage with the society throughout their learning journey.

With Giovanni Benfari, University of Verona, Verona - Italy and Sonia Borodzicz-Jazdzyk, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw - Poland.
