Prediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...

Phase II Safety and Clinical Comparison With Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging for Detection of Coronary Artery Disease

Objectives This was a phase II trial to assess flurpiridaz F 18 for safety and compare its diagnostic performance for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with Tc-99m single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) MPI with regard to image quality, interpretative certainty, defect magnitude, and detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) ( 50% stenosis) on in...

Electron beam computed tomography: on its way into mainstream cardiology?

The recent surge of interest by both cardiologists and patients in electron beam computed tomography, an imaging technique developed in the 1970s, stems from reports about its excellent ability to depict high grade coronary artery stenoses and its capability to quantify coronary calcification and monitor the development of calcific deposits. This editorial will focus on the current evidence ind...

Complementary roles of coronary calcium scanning and myocardial perfusion SPECT.

The assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) by electron beam tomography (EBT) or multidetector spiral computed tomography (CT) and the evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function by use of myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (MPS) are both valuable in the noninvasive assessment of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). CAC provides uni...

Computed tomography (CT) based calcium scoring in the diagnosis and prognostication of coronary artery disease (CAD)

nvented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield in the 1970s, computed tomography (CT) has greatly strengthened the arsenal of imaging technologies that is available to physicians to detect, prognosticate, and treat disease. The fundamental principle underlying CT scanning is the exposure of biological tissues to rotating fine beam X-rays, followed by the detection and processing of the radiation that these ...

Anomalous origin of left main coronary artery: the value of myocardial scintigraphic and spiral computed tomography scans.

Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the right sinus of the Valsalva or the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) is one of the most clinically important anomalies of coronary circulation. We report the case of a patient with chest pain and abnormal thallium myocardial perfusion scan in whom the anomaly was first detected on invasive coronary arteriography. The exact ana...
