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.
