Comparison of cardiovascular magnetic resonance to single-photon emission computed tomography in women with suspected coronary artery disease: a CE-MARC sub-study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods CE-MARC was a prospective study of 752 patients with suspected angina. All patients were scheduled for CMR, SPECT and X-ray coronary angiography. Multi-parametric CMR comprised adenosine stress/rest perfusion, cine imaging, late gadolinium enhancement and MR coronary angiography. Gated adenosine stress/rest SPECT was performed using 99mTc-tetrofosmin. The primary outcome was the diagnostic accuracy of multi-parametric CMR and SPECT to detect CAD in female and male subgroups. A secondary outcome was a comparison of the perfusion-only components of CMR and SPECT in both sexes according to LV mass and disease extent, and in females according to bra size.

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 ...

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 ...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion compared to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with left main stem disease: a CE-MARC substudy
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 occur...
متن کاملA 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...
