The Effects of Medications on Myocardial Perfusion [PDF]

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008
Antianginal and lipid-lowering medications may modify the results of stress myocardial perfusion imaging. Several studies have shown the beneficial potential of these agents in suppressing myocardial ischemia in patients with known coronary artery disease.

Prognostic implications of quantified coronary atherosclerosis and myocardial perfusion in diabetes [PDF]

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major contributor to cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes. Quantification of coronary atherosclerotic burden is now feasible from coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) whereas positron ...

Evaluation of Myocardial Perfusion by Computed Tomography - Principles, Technical Background and Recommendations [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2019
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has gained a prominent role in the evaluation of coronary artery disease. However, its anatomical nature does not allow the evaluation of the functional repercussion of coronary obstructions.

A new method for the treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury based on γδT cell-mediated immune response

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Acute myocardial ischemia is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, and re-perfusion is currently the best intervention. However, re-perfusion may lead to further myocardial injury and increase the area of myocardial infarction.

Adiposity Is Associated with Gender-Specific Reductions in Left Ventricular Myocardial Perfusion during Dobutamine Stress. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Obesity and visceral adiposity are increasingly recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Visceral fat may reduce myocardial perfusion by impairing vascular endothelial function. Women experience more anginal symptoms compared to men

Prevalence and predictors of myocardial ischemia by preoperative myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2017
BACKGROUND: The prevalence and predictors of myocardial ischemia before noncardiac surgery are unknown. In addition the predictive value of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) before noncardiac in individual patients ...

Non-invasive intradialytic percutaneous perfusion monitoring: a view to the heart through the skin

Frontiers in Nephrology, 2023
IntroductionThe life-sustaining treatment of hemodialysis (HD) induces recurrent and cumulative systemic circulatory stress resulting in cardiovascular injury.

Myocardial perfusion [PDF]

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2006
AbstractNoninvasive cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has progressed rapidly over the past few years and will most likely become an integral part of the diagnostic workup of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). In this article the rationale for using perfusion‐CMR is discussed, followed by a summary of current state‐of‐
