Long-term follow-up of coronary MR and CT angiography for prediction of cardiac events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Although some studies have shown the potential utility of coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD), almost no information exists regarding its prognostic value. Aim of our study was to compare the predictive value of CMRA and coronary multislice computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for prediction of cardiovascular events at long-term follow-up, with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the reference method.

Prediction of long-term cardiac events by 123I-MIBG imaging after acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy
Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...

Introduction: One of the most important causes of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and even after kidney transplantation is cardiovascular diseases. Thus, cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance in the management of these patients especially during preoperative work up before renal transplantation. The aim of present study is to evaluate the role of myoc...

Background: Unstable angina is a critical phase of coronary heart disease with widely variable symptoms and prognosis. In recent years, the pathophysiological roles of platelet activation and inflammation in unstable angina have been elucidated. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil count as predictive factors for future events (in a six...

Introduction: Post-dilatation is associated with a simultaneous expansion of the stents that enhances the angioplasty outcomes. However, increased risk of mortality and morbidity has been reported in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which has provoked considerable controversies concerning its efficiency. Materials and Methods: During a two-...

BACKGROUND Although coronary artery lesions are critical complications of Kawasaki disease, their long-term outcome is still unclear. It is sometimes difficult to monitor progressive changes from aneurysms to stenotic lesions because coronary angiography (CAG) cannot be repeated very often, especially in infants. Our prospective study was designed to evaluate the prognostic value of dipyridamol...
