Assessing Sarcopenia Using Cardiac MRI for Better Patient Outcomes

Update: 2025-03-20

Description

Dr. Praveen Ranganath is joined by Dr. Moran Drucker Iarovich and Dr. Kate Hanneman to discuss their study on using pectoralis muscle thickness in cardiac MRI as a measure of sarcopenia and its prognostic significance. Together, they explore the potential of opportunistic imaging in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events and the future of integrating these findings into clinical practice.

Cardiac MRI Pectoralis Muscle Thickness as a Measure of Sarcopenia: Prognostic Significance, Interreader Agreement, and Physiologic Correlation. Iarovich et al. Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging 2024; 6(6):e240147.
