Two-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 کاملComparison of plasma leptin levels in patients with normal, low and high risk myocardial perfusion scan [Persian]
Introduction: Leptin, secreted from adipose tissue may have some correlation with coronary artery disease according to some reports in literature. The mean concentration of plasma leptin in patients with normal and abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and relation of leptin levels, independently to abnormality in MPI after correction for body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Methods...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scan accuracy in detection of coronary artery disease - Comparison with exercise stress test [Persian]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...

statement of the problem periodontitis is a common infectious disease that can be affected by different factors.periodontal conditions can be influenced by systemic diseases and they also can act as risk factors for some systemic diseases. several studies have been carried out on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of our study was to eva...
متن کاملRemarkable reduction of exposure rate in patients with stress-only myocardial perfusion scan: Let’s safe mankind from unjustified radiation exposure
Introduction: To measure radiation exposures rate in low-risk patients having stress-only and stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging. Methods: This was a prospective study conducted from January 2012 till November 2012 upon patients with low pre-test probability for coronary artery disease (CAD). A stress MPI (stress-only if MPI is normal and no resting study) followed by a resting MPI study...
