Prognostic value of CMR and SPECT in suspected coronary heart disease: long term follow-up of the CE-MARC study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background CE-MARC established the comparative diagnostic performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with suspected coronary heart disease. However, there are no prospective, prognostic data comparing the two modalities in the same patient population. Our objective was to establish the comparative ability of CMR and SPECT to predict major adverse cardiovascular events.

Clinical evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging in coronary heart disease: The CE-MARC study
BACKGROUND Several investigations are currently available to establish the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Of these, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers the greatest information from a single test, allowing the assessment of myocardial function, perfusion, viability and coronary artery anatomy. However, data from large scale studies that prospectively evaluate the diagnost...
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 کاملComparative use of exercise tolerance testing, SPECT and CMR, alone and in combination, for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease in the CE-MARC study
Background Whilst exercise tolerance testing (ETT) has been a corner stone investigation for the diagnosis of patients with suspected angina, increasingly imaging techniques have gained prominence. We aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ETT in the CE-MARC study population compared to single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and to ...
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...
