Background. Transient arrhythmias can affect transient ischemic dilation (TID) ratios. This study was initiated to evaluate the frequency and effect of normal heart rate change on TID measures in ...

Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) for the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected and diagnosed coronary ...

In a randomized trial of three diagnostic strategies for patients with suspected coronary heart disease, the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging significantly reduced the likelihood of ...

Nuclear medicine provides imaging modalities that can be used to observe physiological processes in the human body, particularly in the bones, heart, lungs, renal system and brain.

BARCELONA -- Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and 82 rubidium positron emission tomography (Rb-PET) performed equally well for perfusion imaging after coronary CT angiography, although with only ...

A large, long-term observational series from the USA has demonstrated that patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and minimal ischemia are best treated with medical therapy, whereas early ...

Capecitabine (Xeloda) and quality of life (QoL) in patients (pts) with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) relapsing after treatment with anthracycline and taxane containing–therapy No significant ...

Accordingly the purpose of this study was to evaluate which risk factor is the strongest effector of MPR in subjects without regional myocardial ischemia. Pharmacological stress was performed by ...

The authors of the article seem to be under the impression that multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has completely taken over from ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy in diagnosing acute pulmonary ...

Consecutive patients referred to the Nuclear Medicine Department at St. Boniface General Hospital for gated SPECT stress/rest sestamibi myocardial perfusion scintigraphy between February 2005 and July ...
