Perfusion imaging with vasodilator stress echocardiography: a physiologically sound approach to coronary disease?
Cardiac stress testing with noninvasive imaging is increasingly used not only to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but also to help to select appropriate therapy according to the extent and severity of disease. To that end, there have been continuous efforts to improve the performance of all forms of stress testing. For example, recent advances in stress radionuclide imaging...
متن کاملVasodilator stress perfusion CMR imaging is feasible and prognostic in obese patients.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine feasibility and prognostic performance of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m(2)). BACKGROUND Current stress imaging methods remain limited in obese patients. Given the impact of the obesity epidemic on cardiovascular disease, alternative methods to effectively risk stratify obese patients are need...
متن کاملTwo-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملDobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging.
In patients with limited exercise capacity and (relative) contraindications to direct vasodilators such as dipyridamole or adenosine, dobutamine stress nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (DSMPI) represents an alternative, exercise-independent stress modality for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Nondiagnostic test results (absence of reversible perfusion defects with submaximal ...
