Cardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion compared to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with left main stem disease: a CE-MARC substudy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compared detection rates for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) in the subset of patients from the CE-MARC study with significant left main stem (LMS) disease. Detection rates for LMS disease by CMR perfusion were higher than for SPECT, and CMR identified a classical LMS pattern with higher frequency. Visual perfusion defects occurred with similar frequency in patients with ≥50% and ≥70% LMS stenosis.

A comparison of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion imaging in left main stem or equivalent coronary artery disease: a CE-MARC substudy
BACKGROUND Assessment of left main stem (LMS) stenosis has prognostic and therapeutic implications. Data on assessment of LMS disease by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are limited. CE-MARC is the largest prospective comparison of CMR and SPECT against quantitative invasive coronary angiography (QCA) for detection of coronary artery...
متن کاملThe ischaemic and scar burden measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ischaemic coronary heart disease from the CE-MARC study
Background The prognostic importance of the ischaemic and scar burden, and their impact on coronary heart disease (CHD) patient management is well established from single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies. Recently, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been shown to have superior sensitivity for the detection of CHD compared with SPECT [1]. However, the ischaemic and the scar ...
متن کاملVisual and quantitative perfusion analysis in left main stem disease: a CE-MARC substudy
Background Left main stem (LMS) disease occurs in approximately 5% of patients with stable angina. It confers adverse prognosis, with potential for prognostic gain with revascularization. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and CMR fail to detect ischemia in 41% and 18% of patients with significant LMS stenosis respectively [1], likely in part because of balanced reduction in cor...
متن کاملComparison of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and single-photon emission computed tomography in women with suspected coronary artery disease from the Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary Heart Disease (CE-MARC) Trial.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in women, and underdiagnosis contributes to the high mortality. This study compared the sex-specific diagnostic performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 235 women and 393 men with suspected angina underwent CMR, SPECT, and x-ray ...

Objective(s): Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the manifestations that could present prior to the emergence of any other neuropsychiatric involvements in SLE. Cognitive dysfunction is a subtle condition occurring with ahigh frequency. However, there is no data on the correlation of cognitive...
