Thirteen patients out of 36 (36.1%) showed abnormal myocardial perfusion scan. Of the 23 females patients, 9 (39.1%) had abnormal Tc-99m MIBI SPECT and 14 (60.9%) showed normal scan. Of the 13 males 4 ...

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 ...

Age is a strong independent predictor of abnormal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and inducible myocardial ischemia. The value of age in ...

In patients with stable angina, two strategies are often used to guide revascularization: one involves myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the other involves ...

The study cohort consisted of 410 patients (271 men and 139 women) mostly from Central Greece, ranging in age from 40 to 87 years (mean age 61.4±10.3 years). In total, 904 patients were referred ...

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 ...

Although coronary arteriograms of a 48-year-old woman with exertional chest pain typical of angina pectoris and an abnormal exercise electrocardiogram were normal, myocardial hypoxia and anaerobic ...

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 ...
