Integrated myocardial flow reserve (iMFR) assessment: diffuse atherosclerosis and microvascular dysfunction are more strongly associated with mortality than focally impaired perfusion
Although treatment of ischemia-causing epicardial stenoses may improve symptoms of ischemia, current evidence does not suggest that revascularization improves survival. Conventional myocardial ischemia imaging...

Impact of residual subtraction on myocardial blood flow and reserve estimates from rapid dynamic PET protocols
13N-ammonia and 18F-flurpiridaz require longer delays between rest and stress studies to allow for decay, lowering clinical throughput. In this study, we investigated the impact of residual subtraction on MBF and...

Physician perceptions of a multidisciplinary endocarditis team
Infectious endocarditis is a highly morbid infection that requires coordination of care across medical and surgical specialties, often through the use of a multidisciplinary team model. Multiple studies have d...
