The prognostic value of stress/rest gated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Introduction:Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT has diagnostic and prognostic values in coronary artery disease (CAD). We tried to determine prognostic values of the left ventricular perfusion & functional indices as well as transient left ventricular dilation (TID) derived from gated myocardial perfusion SPECT. Methods: 1820patients who underwent gated myo...

متن کاملPrognostic value of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the prognostic value of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND It is expected that MSCT will be used increasingly as an alternative imaging modality in the diagnosis of patients with suspected CAD. Data on the prognostic value of MSCT, however, are curren...
متن کاملPerspectives of new imaging techniques for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in western society. Over recent decades, major advances have been made in non invasive imaging techniques, resulting in an enormous growth in their role in the clinical assessment of patients with known and suspected CAD. Indeed, although invasive coronary angiography remains the current gold standard in ...
متن کاملStress echocardiography for risk stratification of diabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients; therefore, their risk stratification is a relevant issue. Because exercise tolerance is frequently impaired in these patients, pharmacological stress echocardiography (SE) has been suggested as a valuable alternative. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of this technique in diabe...
