Dobutamine Tc-99m furifosmin SPECT in detection of coronary artery disease: Evaluation of same day, rest-stress protocol
(JAPANESE SOCIETY NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2003)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day reststress myocardial perfusion SPECT (MP SPECT) protocol by using technetium-99m (Tc-99m) furifosmin in conjunction with ...
The effect of collateral circulation on left ventricular systolic function
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)
Background Conflicting reports exist on the influence of coronary collateral circulation on preservation of left ventricular systolic function. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation ...
Coronary Collaterals in Obese Patients: Impact of Metabolic Syndrome
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2009)
Obesity is a growing pandemic. Among obese patients with significant coronary artery stenosis, development of coronary collaterals was investigated. Consecutive 104 obese patients with stable angina pectoris were enrolled. ...
Dobutamine stress tetrofosmin SPECT; evaluation of short rest-stress protocol and head to head comparison with MIBI in detection of coronary artery disease
(JAPANESE SOCIETY NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2005)
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day short rest-dobutamine stress Tetrofosmin (TF) SPECT imaging protocol and to compare TF SPECT results with MIBI ...
Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of significant coronary artery involvement in patients with peripheral artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Background Peripheral artery disease is a common condition, mainly associated with clinical cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with peripheral artery disease suffer from coronary artery disease-related complications. ...
Coronary collateral circulation: Any effect on P-wave dispersion?
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2008)
Coronary collateral circulation determines the severity of ischemic myocardial damage. Increased P-wave dispersion is an independent predictor for atrial fibrillation. Consistent evidence is little about the relation between ...
Impact of coronary collateral circulation on QT dispersion in patients with coronary artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) on QT dispersion (QTD) in coronary artery disease. Background A prolonged QTD has been linked to increased heterogeneity of ...
