Any medical procedure involves some degree of risk, and you should consult with your doctor regarding your myocardial perfusion study. In most cases, the myocardial perfusion test is done in 2 parts, ...

Improved cardiac outcomes have been a result of advances in bypass surgery and the development of percutaneous coronary interventions. There have also been significant improvements in medical therapy.

The study cohort consisted of 410 patients (271 men and 139 women) mostly from Central Greece, ranging in age from 40 to 87 years (mean age 61.4±10.3 years). In total, 904 patients were referred ...

Three years after PCI, there is no significant difference in myocardial perfusion among patients who received the now-discontinued Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS; Abbott Vascular) ...

Chicago, Illinois (Embargoed until 2:15 p.m. CDT, Tuesday, June 27, 2023)—A novel PET perfusion radiotracer, 18 F-flurpiridaz, can diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) in obese patients with a ...

Microvascular perfusion is often impaired after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We proposed that in situ thrombosis might contribute to poor myocardial perfusion in this setting. To ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...
