Introduction to Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging
Noninvasive cardiac imaging refers to a combination of methods that can be used to obtain images related to the structure and function of the heart. As opposed to invasive techniques, which require catheters to be inserted into the heart, noninvasive tests are easier to perform, are safe, and can be used to detect various heart conditions, ranging from plaque in the arteries that supply the hea...
متن کاملNoninvasive cardiac imaging.
Noninvasive cardiac imaging can be used for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. It is central to the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, or acute coronary syndromes with or without angina. Radionuclide cardiac imaging; echocardiography; and, increasingly, cardiac computed tomography and card...
متن کاملIntroduction to rodent cardiac imaging.
Imaging is a noninvasive complement to traditional methods (such as histology) in rodent cardiac studies. Assessments of structure and function are possible with ultrasound, microcomputed tomography (microCT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Cardiac imaging in the rodent poses a challenge because of the size of the animal and its rapid heart rate. Each aspect in the process of rodent cardi...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Electrophysiology
Noninvasive imaging of cardiac electrophysiology is still a major goal despite all recent technical innovations. This review gives an overview about the historical background, recent developments and possible future applications of noninvasive imaging of cardiac electrophysiology.
متن کاملNoninvasive cardiovascular imaging as a guide to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
C ardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapeutic option with proven efficacy in patients with symptomatic HF. Large, prospective, clinical trials have demonstrated the important role of biventricular pacing in improving symptoms and reducing both hospitalization and mortality in HF patients.1-5 However, a significant proportion of patients (~30%) do not respond to CRT, par...
