Modern scintigraphic methods for assessing myocardial blood flow and reserve

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2021
Background. Today, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is an informative and accessible method for evaluating ischemic changes in the heart. However, this method has limitations, which are more connected with a semiquantitative assessment of the study ...

Bimodal Pattern of Coronary Microvascular Involvement in Diabetes Mellitus

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe contribution of functionally disturbed coronary autoregulation and structurally impaired microvascular vasodilatory function to reduced coronary flow velocity reserve, reflecting impaired coronary microcirculation in diabetes mellitus (DM),

FFR post-PCI: what we learned from the FFR-SEARCH study

open access: yesREC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2021
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE AFTER STENTING? The introduction of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the mid 90s moved coronary physiology from experimental science to routine use at the cath lab.1-3 Added to the better ...

Robust Association Between Changes in Coronary Flow Capacity Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Vessel-Oriented Outcomes and the Implication for Clinical Practice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundCoronary flow capacity (CFC) is a potentially important physiologic marker of ischemia for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) indication, while the changes through PCI have not been investigated.ObjectivesTo assess the ...

Significance of Microvascular Function in Visual—Functional Mismatch Between Invasive Coronary Angiography and Fractional Flow Reserve

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundDespite a moderate correlation between angiographical stenosis and physiological significance, the mechanism of discordance has not been fully elucidated, particularly regarding the significance of microvascular function.

Lesion Location and Functional Connections Reveal Cognitive Impairment Networks in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive impairment, fatigue, and depression are common in multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially due to disruption of regional functional connectivity caused by white matter (WM) lesions. We explored whether WM lesions functionally connected to specific brain regions contribute to these MS‐related manifestations.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Acutely Improves Coronary Microcirculatory Function

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) attenuates myocardial damage during elective and primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Recent studies suggest that coronary microcirculatory function is an important determinant of clinical outcome.
