Myocardial Viability- Assessment and Clinical Relevance
A number of important points concerning the application of viability assessment in clinical practice, need to be clarified as they are often source of confusion for practicing physicians. First, the patients who are being considered for myocardial viability assessment should have documented coronary artery disease, with myocardial dysfunction, and these patients should be candidates for myocard...
متن کاملCT imaging of myocardial viability: experimental and clinical evidence
Over the last decade, imaging of myocardial viability has become a well-established indication in patients suffering from myocardial infarction. Myocardial viability imaging is routinely performed using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Only recently have several multi-slice spiral computed tomography...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemia and viability
This paper addresses the question of whether and how MCG tests that assess ischemia or viability of the myocardium can add to the diagnostic information gained from standard procedures in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. We review the diagnostic performance of the exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), the exercise and pharmacological (stress) echocardiogram, the exercise and pharmacological m...
متن کاملMyocardial Viability: From Proof of Concept to Clinical Practice
Ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction can arise from myocardial stunning, hibernation, or necrosis. Imaging modalities have become front-line methods in the assessment of viable myocardial tissue, with the aim to stratify patients into optimal treatment pathways. Initial studies, although favorable, lacked sufficient power and sample size to provide conclusive outcomes of viability assess...
متن کاملUsefulness of myocardial parametric imaging to evaluate myocardial viability in experimental and in clinical studies.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether myocardial parametric imaging (MPI) is superior to visual assessment for the evaluation of myocardial viability. METHODS AND RESULTS Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was assessed in 11 pigs before, during, and after left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and in 32 patients with ischaemic heart disease by using intravenous SonoVue administrat...
