Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare primary cardiac tumour with benign histology. Despite its benign nature, it can lead to serious complications, including thromboembolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, and dynamic coronary obstruction. This review at #EHJ-IMP highlights how multimodality imaging supports diagnosis and clinical management: 🔹 Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) serves as an important initial imaging test. 🔹 Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides improved spatial and temporal resolution, helping define tumour mobility, attachment, stalk morphology, and relationships with nearby structures. 🔹 Cardiac CT offers detailed anatomical information and helps assess the tumour’s relationship with the cardiac valves, coronary arteries, and surrounding anatomy. 🔹 Cardiac MRI contributes to tissue characterisation and may help differentiate papillary fibroelastoma from other cardiac masses. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/ehjimp/qyag1… @VikashJaiswalMD @EHJIMPEiC @JGrapsa #EHJImaging #Cardiology #CardiacImaging #MultimodalityImaging #Echocardiography #CardiacCT #CardiacMRI #PapillaryFibroelastoma #CardioEd #CardioTwitter.

In this important piece at @ehj_ed #EHJ @ATycinska and @escardio nominating committee (where I was honoured to be a part of) emphasize the shortage of applications by female colleagues for ESC leadership positions ➡️ academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a… 🔥”The problem extends beyond leadership in professional societies and permeates the entire academic and clinical career pathway. Without targeted, measurable action, the gap will persist across generations of cardiologists. Tackling these systemic challenges requires coordinated, sustained, and accountable efforts from institutions, scientific societies, and individual leaders” 🔥 “To women colleagues at all career stages, we send a clear and unequivocal message: your expertise, perspectives, and lived experience are essential to the future of our Society and to the advancement of cardiovascular care in Europe. Your voice is needed not only at the bedside but also in decision-making” @Antonia_Sambola @weidinger_franz @EmmaSvennberg @OliviaManfrini @LindeCecilia @mrubini @WomenAs1
