Inotropic stress with arbutamine is superior to vasodilator stress with dipyridamole for the detection of reversible ischemia with Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography

There is a paucity of data comparing the relative merits of inotropic and vasodilator stress Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the detection of coronary artery disease and...

The prognostic value of a normal Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT study in suspected coronary artery disease

Myocardial perfusion is widely used for risk stratification of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent years have seen an increasing demand for screening of such patients. The va...

Rapid assessment of patients with non—ST-segment elevation acute chest pain: Troponins, inflammatory markers, or perfusion imaging?

Perfusion imaging during or soon after pain has been shown to provide diagnostic and prognostic information in patients with suspected angina. Measurement of troponin I (TnI) and troponin T (TnT) provides simi...

Comparison between Tc-99m N-NOET and Tl-201 in the assessment of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease

Technetium 99m N-ethoxy-N-ethyl dithiocarbamate (N-NOET) is a new radionuclide tracer for cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. It combines the advantageous properties of a Tc-99m...

Effect of alcohol septal ablation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on left-ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony as assessed by phase analysis of gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may have delayed septal activation and left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony, and may improve after alcohol septal ablation (ASA). This study used phase ...

Spatial indices of repolarization correlate with non-ST elevation myocardial ischemia in patients with chest pain

Mild-to-moderate ischemia does not result in ST segment elevation on the electrocardiogram (ECG), but rather non-specific changes in the T wave, which are frequently labeled as non-diagnostic for ischemia. Rob...
