Multimodality Imaging in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Cardiac multimodality (hybrid) imaging can be obtained from a variety of techniques, such as nuclear medicine with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET), or radiology with multislice computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and echography.

Introduction. The concept of diabetic cardiomyopathy was first proposed by S. Rubler et al. more than 100 years ago, but this diagnosis іs rarely used by clinicians because of the existence of such co-morbidities as ischemic heart disease and arterial ...

Evidence regarding clinical use of microvolt T-wave alternans [Accuracy of microvolt T-wave alternans testing] [PDF]
Background: Microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) testing in many studies has proven to be a highly accurate predictor of ventricular tachyarrhythmic events (VTEs) in patients with risk factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD) but without a prior history of ...

Factors influencing transfusion-associated HLA sensitization in patients bridged to heart transplantation using ventricular assist device. [PDF]
BackgroundBridging heart failure patients with mechanical ventricular assist devices (VAD) enables access to transplantation. However, VAD is associated with increased risk for anti-HLA antibodies associated with rejection of subsequent allografts ...

Role of cardiac MRI in assessment of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
Purpose: To study additive role of CMR to echocardiography in assessment of dilated cardiomyopathy and if LGE-CMR myocardial enhancement pattern can differentiate between ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy compared to coronary ...
