Background: Cardiac syndrome X is defined by a typical angina pectoris with normal or near normal (stenosis <40%) coronary angiogram with or without electrocardiogram (ECG) change or atypical angina ...
The value of age in predicting abnormal SPECT MPI is maintained across MPI test appropriateness categories. Appropriate testing identifies a greater prevalence of abnormal MPI in patients younger than ...
The ability of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to stratify risk in octogenarians is poorly defined. The authors identified 439 octogenarians who ...
Introduction: Functional testing by stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and anatomical imaging by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) are often used interchangeably in the initial ...
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...
A cardiac hybrid imaging technique that fuses SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans can help predict major adverse cardiac events in patients suspected of ...
