In this paper, a new technique (SPASM) based on a 3DASM is presented for automatic segmentation of cardiac MRI image data sets consisting of multiple planes with different orientations, and with large undersampled regions. SPASM was applied to sparsely sampled and radially oriented cardiac LV image data. Performance of SPASM has been compared to results from other methods reported in literature...

Multivessel coronary spasm has been described but its incidence in patients with variant angina still remains unclear. Thirty-three patients with variant angina were studied during coronary angiographic examination with selective intracoronary injection of acetylcholine (ACh). In all but three patients, the location of ischemia during attack was determined by the electrocardiographic findings, ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Previous studies have reported that magnesium (Mg) deficiency is associated with coronary spasm. However, little is known about the preventive effect of Mg on coronary spasm. The present study investigated whether Mg prevents coronary spasm in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA). DESIGN Effectiveness trial. SETTING University medical center. PATIENTS Twenty-two patient...

Coronary spasm plays an important role in the pathogenesis of variant angina as well as ischaemic heart diseases. Treatment with vasodilators such as long-acting calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates is generally effective in preventing coronary spasm; however, in some patients coronary spasm is refractory to standard therapy. Because of endothelial dysfunction, hyper-reactivity of ...
