Sunrise Session Cardiovascular Course Evaluation of Ischemia/Perfusion Reserve
نویسنده
چکیده
Myocardial perfusion and wall motion assessment by CMR for detection of CAD. Contrast media (CM) first-pass techniques are the most commonly used approaches for perfusion-CMR. Alternatively, blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) techniques and spin-labeling techniques have also been applied to measure myocardial perfusion, but are still in an early experimental stage. As an alternative for perfusion-CMR, ischemic myocardium can also be detected directly by functional CMR during inotropic stress.

Dobutamine induced myocardial perfusion reserve index with cardiovascular MR in patients with coronary artery disease.
Currently, adenosine or dipyridamole is commonly used for the assessment of perfusion reserve. With intolerance to these agents, dobutamine can be used alternatively or it can be used for a combined examination of wall motion and perfusion. The aim of the study was to analyze the feasibility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess perfusion reserve with dobutamine. Alterations of m...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging perfusion to assess transmural flow distribution
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to assess non-invasively the presence and the extent of myocardial ischemia. CMR perfusion has been shown to be superior to nuclear perfusion imaging, allows high-resolution quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion reserve, has been validated against invasive reference standards and microspheres and therefore has the potential ...
متن کاملFunctional Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease Using Whole-Heart Dynamic Computed Tomographic Perfusion.
BACKGROUND Computed tomographic (CT) angiography is an important tool for the evaluation of coronary artery disease but often correlates poorly with myocardial ischemia. Current dynamic CT perfusion techniques can assess ischemia but have limited accuracy and deliver high radiation dose. Therefore, an accurate, low-dose, dynamic CT perfusion technique is needed. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of...
متن کاملIncremental Value of Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography‐Assessed Coronary Flow Reserve in Patients With Suspected Myocardial Ischemia Undergoing Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy
BACKGROUND Adenosine-assisted transthoracic Doppler-derived coronary flow reserve (TDE-CFR) reflects coronary vascular function. The prognostic and incremental value of left anterior descending coronary artery TDE-CFR above myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in patients with suspected myocardial ischemia has not yet been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Three hundred seventy-one patients (mean age...
متن کاملRegional heterogeneity of myocardial perfusion in healthy human myocardium: assessment with magnetic resonance perfusion imaging.
The knowledge of myocardial perfusion in healthy volunteers is fundamental for evaluation of patients with ischemic heart disease. The study was conducted to determine range, regional variability, and transmural gradient of myocardial perfusion in normal volunteers with Magnetic Resonance Perfusion Imaging (MRPI). Perfusion was assessed in 17 healthy volunteers (age: 20-47 yr, 11 males) at rest...
