A Perspective on Cardiac CT Imaging Technique
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Cardiovascular imaging technique is a key for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment. In coronary imaging, the cardiac CT is of high spatial and temporal resolution. Compared with other medical imaging modality, the cardiac CT has a unique advantage in coronary stenosis detection, plaque assessment and st...
متن کاملAcute Myocarditis: From Clinical Presentation to Cardiac Imaging
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium. Despite the progress of laboratory data and cardiac imaging, the diagnosis of myocarditis remains a problem in clinical practice. We report the role of non invasive cardiac imaging techniques as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis.

ETHODS: The last 100 consecutive emergency appendectoies, which were performed at New York Methodist Hospital n 2004, were retrospectively analyzed. The collected data inluded the demographics of the patients, relevant history, physcal examination, laboratory and radiological tests, and patholgy results. The statistical analyses were performed using the JMP verion 3.2 software (SAS Institute In...
متن کاملAcute myocarditis secondary to cardiac tuberculosis: a case report
Isolated myocardial involvement in tuberculosis is exceedingly rare but there are reports it can present with sudden cardiac death, atrioventricular block, ventricular arrhythmias or congestive cardiac failure. We report the case of a 33-year-old male, of South Asian descent, who presented with chest pain, shortness of breath and an abnormal ECG. The patient had no significant past medical hist...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
