Value of nuclear cardiology for the diagnosis and risk stratifi cation of coronary artery disease

Beller et al. showed in the “anginal cascade”(1) that, with increasing stress time and myocardial oxygen demand, ischemic ST depression and anginal symptoms appear after fl ow heterogeneity, regional myocardial dysfunction, signifi cant perfusion defects and global left ventricular dysfunction. This accounts for the increased sensitivity, specifi city and accuracy of MPI over symptoms and stres...

Contributions of nuclear cardiology to diagnosis and prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease.

In the past decade, significant advances have been made in the ability to image the heart with radionuclide tracers under stress and resting conditions in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) for the detection of ischemia, determination of prognosis, assessment of myocardial viability, preoperative risk assessment for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, and evaluat...

Recent Advances in Nuclear Cardiology

Nuclear cardiology uses radioisotopes to study various aspects of cardiac pathophysiology. Using the techniques of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) one can study myocardial function, perfusion, metabolism, receptors, infarction, atherosclerosis, apoptosis and success of gene therapy. Gated Blood Pool (GBP / MUGA) studies provide an accura...
