Myocardial perfusion 3-Tesla cardiac magnetic resonance vs. exercise electrocardiogram for diagnosics of coronary artery disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is established as a high sensitive procedure to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD). In practice exercise electrocardigram (XECG) is widely used as non invasive method to detect relevant coronary stenosis (>50%). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic perfomance of adenosin stress 3-Tesla cardiac MRI for verification of ischaemia at coronary artery disease in comparison to XECG referred to coronary angiography as gold standard.

متن کاملDiagnostic performance of 3T stress magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging (MRMPI) using 32-channel cardiac coil in patients with coronary artery disease
Background/aim With newly available 32-channel cardiac coil, 3 tesla MRI system provides increased signal-to-noise radio (SNR), reduced imaging time and improved spatial resolution. This study sought to determine the diagnostic performance of 3T stress MRMPI with 32-channel cardiac coil in detecting clinical relevant coronary artery stenosis in comparison with invasive coronary angiography (ICA).

Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...

Objective: Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in type 2 diabetic patients, it is frequently asymptomatic. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is reported to show ischemia in a significant number of asymptomatic diabetic patients. We studied the prevalence and severity of myocardial perfusion defects in asymptomatic diabetic patients and its clinical impact. Meth...
