Nuclear cardiac testing is most appropriate in the diagnosis of CAD in patients who have an intermediate likelihood of disease. Low-risk patients may need no additional testing, while high-risk ...

Background: Cardiac syndrome X is defined by a typical angina pectoris with normal or near normal (stenosis <40%) coronary angiogram with or without electrocardiogram (ECG) change or atypical angina ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...

Chicago, Illinois (Embargoed until 2:15 p.m. CDT, Tuesday, June 27, 2023)—A novel PET perfusion radiotracer, 18 F-flurpiridaz, can diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) in obese patients with a ...

Age is a strong independent predictor of abnormal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and inducible myocardial ischemia. The value of age in ...

Introduction: Recent technical advances in stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allow for myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification (quantitative perfusion CMR [QP CMR]).

The study cohort consisted of 410 patients (271 men and 139 women) mostly from Central Greece, ranging in age from 40 to 87 years (mean age 61.4±10.3 years). In total, 904 patients were referred ...

To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

Prof Colin Berry describes stress CMR-based myocardial blood flow endotyping for patients with chest pain and unobstructed ...

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally. One of the most common tools used to diagnose and monitor heart disease, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single photon emission ...

We read with interest the article by Piwoński et al, 1 published in the current issue of Polish Archives of Internal Medicine (Pol Arch Intern Med), regarding their study including 20 514 Polish ...
