چکیده

Coronary vasospasm is a severe vasoconstriction of an epicardial coronary artery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and cause symptoms of angina. The gold-standard for diagnosing coronary vasospasm is to perform an intracoronary provocation test and to demonstrate the epicardial vasoconstriction by coronary angiography. We report the case of a patient with coronary vasospasm in whom we succeeded to non-invasively provoke and subsequently non-invasively demonstrate myocardial ischemia by perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

Combined non-invasive functional and anatomical diagnostic work-up in clinical practice: the magnetic resonance and computed tomography in suspected coronary artery disease (MARCC) study.

AIMS The combined use of cardiac computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial perfusion imaging allows the non-invasive evaluation of coronary morphology and function. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has several advantages: it can simultaneously assess myocardial perfusion, ventricular and valvular function, cardiomyopathy, and aortic disease and does not ...

Moderated Poster Presentations 201. A Combined Single-Session Analysis of Adenosine Perfusion and of High-Dose Dobutamine Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Improves Diagnosis of Ischemia

Introduction: With CMR, both the analysis of myocardial perfusion during adenosine stress (Perfusion-CMR) and of wall motion during dobutamine stress (StressCMR) were shown highly accurate for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. A combined single session dual stress protocol has not been reported so far. Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of perfusion-CMR and stress-CMR in an unselec...

New protocol to detect coronary spastic angina without fixed stenosis.

A new combined test, accelerated exercise following mild hyperventilation (HV), was examined to determine whether it is effective at detecting a positive response in patients with pharmacologically-induced coronary vasospasm and near normal coronary arteries. Fifty-eight consecutive patients who underwent both triple non-invasive spasm provocation tests and diagnostic coronary angiography were ...

[A case of coronary vasospasm treated with stent placement].

We report about a 49 year old woman with repeated chest pain at rest. During hyperventilation significant ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V5 appeared. Bicycle stress test did not provoke any ECG changes. Coronary angiography showed a significant stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Successful balloon angioplasty followed by stent implantation was performed. After an uneven...

The Essence of STRATEGY Is Choosing What Not to Do.

Clinicians must evaluate on a daily basis patients with symptoms of possible coronary artery disease (CAD). Decades of progress in various technologies used for cardiovascular imaging have produced a wide array of choices, and consequently selecting the best test for a given patient has become increasingly complex. Anatomic techniques to evaluate for CAD include invasive coronary angiography (I...
