With Caroline van der Heijningen, University Hospital Antwerp, Edegem - Belgium and Elif Sade, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh - USA.
In this episode of Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging, Caroline van der Heijningen welcomes Elif Sade, lead author of the joint EACVI–EHRA clinical consensus document on multimodality imaging of the left atrium and left atrial appendage. The discussion provides an expert overview of the scientific rationale behind the document and its relevance in contemporary cardiovascular practice, particularly as an imaging companion to recent ESC guidelines on atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease.

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.
