Researchers published the study covered in this summary on medRxiv.org as a preprint that has not yet been peer reviewed. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in people with type 2 ...
Accordingly the purpose of this study was to evaluate which risk factor is the strongest effector of MPR in subjects without regional myocardial ischemia. Pharmacological stress was performed by ...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and CT imaging plays a crucial ...
Furthermore, ischemia may not necessarily be localized to an entire myocardial area as in patients with epicardial coronary stenosis. Indeed myocardial ischemia may be patchily distributed in small ...
Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) as detected by dark blood delayed-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was ...
New methods that enhance the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging were developed in a recent study, in which researchers invented a method which makes it possible to reduce the imaging time by up ...
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 ...
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 ...
The use of myocardial perfusion imaging declined substantially from 2006 to 2011, and the drop cannot be explained solely by increases in use of other modalities, according to a research letter ...
