Initial results of a new very rapid rest/regadenoson stress myocardial perfusion protocol in patients with atrial fibrillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion is a well established method for detection of significant obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). In patients with arrhythmias, standard methods using ECGgating can result in poor image quality. Additionally, with typical stress/rest protocols, a true rest state may not be achieved after administration of regadenoson. However, rest-first may present issues with peri-infarct ischemia and so here we give little time for late enhancement by keeping rest and stress perfusion scans close in time. Given these issues, the two-fold aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a rapid rest-first protocol using an ungated myocardial image pulse sequence.

Prognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation
Methods 130 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation referred for perfusion stress CMR using either adenosine or regadenoson were followed for hard cardiovascular events defined as cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MACE). Ischemia was defined as new onset of perfusion defects in at least two myocardial segments (positive test). Multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were pe...

Introduction: We investigated the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic volume(ESV) measured by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) in the post-dipyridamole stress and rest periods, and compared the results with the perfusion patterns found in the conventional non-gated tomograms. Methods: 297 consecutive patients were studie...
متن کاملInitial description of changes in wall motion parameters in normal subjects undergoing rest/regadenoson stress using a tagged MRI sequence
Background Changes in global and regional wall motion between rest and stress are important prognostic markers, uncommonly observed with vasodilator stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Cardiac MRI (CMR) with tagging has the potential to more precisely quantify normal and abnormal ventricular wall motion responses. We herein report CMR findings in 5 very low-likelihood patien...
متن کاملThe role of oral dipyridamole stress gated SPECT in assessing the response of the left ventricle to stress: Re-evaluation of an old method
Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...

AIMS Knowledge of adverse events associated with regadenoson perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and patient tolerability has implications for patient safety and staff training. We sought to assess the safety and tolerability of regadenoson stress CMR. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 728 consecutive patients (median age 58, 44% female) and 25 normal volunteers (median age 21, 24% fema...
