June 19, 2012 (Miami Beach, Florida) — Measuring coronary flow reserve (CFR) and adding that to myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can boost the accuracy of the technique for diagnosing coronary ...
The coronary arterial system is composed of three compartments with different functions, although the borders of each compartment cannot be clearly defined anatomically 2 (Figure 1). The proximal ...
Use of 3-D whole heart myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately predicts the presence of ischemia-producing stenosis as measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR). The ...
Eleven children with KD (nine boys, two girls; age, 8.6 ± 6.1 y; range, 0.5–16.1 y) were studied with 123 I-MIBG and stressed 201 Tl (either exercise or dipyridamole stress) single-photon emission ...
Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can be dangerous as it impairs oxygen delivery to vital organs. When mean arterial ...
