Fluorine-18 flurpiridaz offers a long half-life, short positron range, and high first-pass myocardial extraction—enabling centralized production, exercise stress testing, superior spatial resolution, ...

Methods: Patients < 4 years post-transplant who underwent stress PET myocardial perfusion imaging were retrospectively identified. The prevalence of abnormal quantitative and qualitative PET findings ...

A widow is suing Centerpoint Medical Center in Independence after alleging doctors ignored her husband’s abnormal heart readings before his surgery, where he died after, a lawsuit alleges. A widow is ...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and myocardial ischemia based on myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and further ...

In patients with a histologic diagnosis of extra-CS and abnormal results on screening tests for CS, the use of 18 F-FDG PET/CT is indicated for the work-up of myocardial involvement (2). Abnormal ...

The study presents a case of INOCA attributed to CMVD in a 53-year-old male patient experiencing exertional angina, despite the absence of significant coronary artery stenosis on angiography. The ...

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally. One of the most common tools used to diagnose and monitor heart disease, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single photon emission ...

Researchers have developed a method that leverages artificial intelligence to ensure accurate heart scans without added radiation or cost. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death ...

Background IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a relapsing–remitting, fibroinflammatory, multisystem disorder. Cardiovascular involvement from IgG4-RD has not been systematically characterised. In this ...

Furthermore, ischemia may not necessarily be localized to an entire myocardial area as in patients with epicardial coronary stenosis. Indeed myocardial ischemia may be patchily distributed in small ...
