Coupling of vessel wall morphology and function in the aorta and the carotid artery: an evaluation with MRI
To evaluate the regional association between vessel wall morphology [i.e. cross-sectional vessel wall area (VWA)] and function [i.e. wall stiffness expressed in the pulse wave velocity (PWV)] in both the aorti...

The maximum necrotic core area is most often located proximally to the site of most severe narrowing: a virtual histology intravascular ultrasound study
Previous angiographic studies have shown that almost two-thirds of vulnerable plaques are located in non-obstructive lesions. Possibly, the maximum necrotic core (Max NC) area is not always identical to the si...

Open AccessReproducibility of planar 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy in patients with heart failure
Despite its high prognostic value, widespread clinical implementation of 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy is hampered by a lack of validation and standardization. The purpose of this s...

Open AccessRelationship between obstructive coronary artery disease and abnormal stress testing in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to the presence of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether the higher burden of CAD observed in AF patients translates into higher burden of myocardi...
