Risk stratification by regadenoson stress MRI in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background With the expanding use of vasodilator stress CMR, there has been a parallel rise in the use of regadenoson as a pharmacological stress agent. To date, however, prognostic data for stress CMR has focused on the use of adenosine or dipyridamole while prognostic data regarding the use of regadenoson is limited. We therefore sought to identify the prognostic value of regadenoson vasodilator stress CMR on clinical events in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.

Feasibility and results of acute cardiac stress MRI with regadenoson for risk stratification of COPD-patients with NSTEMI
Background Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often present with symptoms equivalent to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and slightly elevated high sensitive troponine in the observational range (hsTnT 14-53 ng/l). While this cannot differentiate between coronary or pulmonary origin of myocardial damage it necessitates further investigation since it has prognostic impact...

Background Measurement of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) can potentially extend the scope of conventional myocardial perfusion imaging from detection of flow limiting epicardial stenosis to assessment of coronary microvascular function. Recent studies have suggested that MPR may improve risk stratification of patients with known or suspected CAD. MPR has traditionally been measured using PE...

Background The diagnostic dilemma of patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presenting with symptoms equivalent to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and slightly elevated high sensitive troponine in the observational range (hsTnT 14-53 ng/l) is complex. Prognostic impact of elevated hsTnT demand further investigation. Comorbidities of COPD and coronary artery diseas...

Background Stress perfusion cardiac MRI (CMR) with a high relaxivity blood-pool contrast agent should allow for improved quantification of myocardial perfusion and myocardium blood volume in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In the current study, we sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance and image quality of stress perfusion CMR using the intravascular contrast agent gadofoves...

Currently, myocardial TI-201 scintigraphy is most often performed in conjunction with exercise stress testing in patients with suspected or known CAD. Stress thallium tests were performed for 156 patients with and without old myocardial infarctions complaining of chest pain. All of them underwent contrast coronary angiography. Perfusion defects were mostly manifested as reversible defects ...
