Myocardial perfusion imaging - a validated and mature cardiac imaging modality.
BACKGROUND Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) involves the use of radiotracers to generate scintigraphic images of the myocardium. It is the best validated and most standardised of all cardiac imaging modalities, demonstrating regional perfusion ventricular wall motion and accurately calculating reproducible left ventricular ejection fraction. Physiological or pharmacological stress can...
متن کاملNuclear cardiology in Iran in 2002 [Persian]
Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of stress/rest gated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Introduction:Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT has diagnostic and prognostic values in coronary artery disease (CAD). We tried to determine prognostic values of the left ventricular perfusion & functional indices as well as transient left ventricular dilation (TID) derived from gated myocardial perfusion SPECT. Methods: 1820patients who underwent gated myo...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
متن کاملAssociation between anxiety disorder and the extent of ischemia observed in cardiac syndrome X.
BACKGROUND A possible link between the heart and brain has been reported for cardiac syndrome X. Anxiety disorder could be a pathophysiological mechanism for this cardiac chest pain. To the authors' knowledge, a quantitative analysis correlating anxiety with the extent of ischemia has not been done. METHODS AND RESULTS In this pilot study, we evaluated 20 patients with typical chest pain and ...
