Cost-effectiveness of dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in stable coronary artery disease - a post-hoc analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DCMR) was not an established test for coronary ischemia in 2003/2004. Meanwhile, long-term outcome has demonstrated a strong prognostic value of negative DCMR testing (Kelle et al. JACC CVI 2011). However, only limited data are as yet available about reimbursement for and costeffectiveness of DCMR in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

Value of strain analysis with feature tracking in dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for detecting coronary artery disease
Background Dobutamine stress magnetic resonance (DSMR) has been established for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) due to its high diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value. The novel technique feature tracking (FT) analyses regional myocardial strain and thereby offers detailed information about myocardial deformation. The purpose of this study was to examine how FT based circumfere...

متن کاملCoronary Artery Spasm During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography: A Case Report
Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...
متن کاملCardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a prime player in the clinical and preclinical detection of ischemic heart disease (IHD) as well in the prognosis assessment by offering a comprehensive approach for all spectrums of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The aim of this review is to provide the reader a state-of-the art on how the newest cardiac MRI techniques can be use...
متن کاملDobutamine stress cardiac MRI reliably predicts significant coronary disease in renal transplant candidates
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts for half of all deaths in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) who have undergone renal transplantation. In patients with ESKD, “angiographically” significant CAD may be asymptomatic. Identification of these patients, with subsequent revascularisation, may reduce the prevalence of adverse cardiovascular events in the peri-transplant and...
