    The amount of viable and dyssynchronous myocardium is associated with response to cardiac resynchronization therapy: initial clinical results using multiparametric ECG-gated [18F]FDG PET

    There is still a significant amount of patients who do not sufficiently respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Previous studies demonstrated that the amount of dyssynchronous myocardium was predic...

    The amount of dysfunctional but viable myocardium predicts long-term survival in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular dysfunction

    To evaluate the prognostic significance of combined myocardial perfusion SPECT and [18F]FDG PET viability scanning for the prediction of survival in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (iCMP) and left ventri...

    SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging as an adjunct to coronary calcium score for the detection of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis

    Coronary artery calcifications (CAC) are markers of coronary atherosclerosis, but do not correlate well with stenosis severity. This study intended to evaluate clinical situations where a combined approach of ...

    Left ventricular dyssynchrony assessed by gated SPECT phase analysis is an independent predictor of death in patients with advanced coronary artery disease and reduced left ventricular function not undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy

    Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) was assessed by gated single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) as an independent predictor of death from any cause in patients with know...

    Complementary use of CT angiography and stress tests to evaluate coronary heart disease

    Reliance on any single method of investigation as a gold standard to evaluate coronary disease is no longer appropriate or sufficient. Due consideration of the disease’s complex pathomechanisms and heterogeneo...
