We are all interested in heart health and recognize factors such as eating right, exercising, quitting smoking, and weight management as fundamental elements of preserving our cardiovascular health.

Nuclear cardiac testing is most appropriate in the diagnosis of CAD in patients who have an intermediate likelihood of disease. Low-risk patients may need no additional testing, while high-risk ...

Use of 3-D whole heart myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately predicts the presence of ischemia-producing stenosis as measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR). The ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

The significantly longer half-life of Flyrcado (109 minutes) allows for it to be manufactured at an offsite pharmacy and delivered as a ready-to-use unit dose. The approval was supported by data from ...

Introduction: Recent technical advances in stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allow for myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification (quantitative perfusion CMR [QP CMR]).

This article, the third in a five-part series on nuclear medicine imaging techniques, explains how myocardial perfusion imaging works and what precautions are required when it is used Nuclear medicine ...

Computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) imaging with a 128-dual source scanner offers good diagnostic accuracy at low radiation exposure compared with conventional imaging methods. The results, from a ...

The significantly longer half-life of Flyrcado (109 minutes) allows for it to be manufactured at an offisite pharmacy and delivered as a ready-to-use unit dose. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ...
