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

Society for cardiovascular magnetic resonance expert consensus statement on quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
: Myocardial perfusion imaging plays a central role in the management of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and increasingly in patients with suspected ischemia with normal coronary arteries (INOCA) as well as anomalous ...

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy [PDF]
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is the only widely available method of direct assessment of myocardial perfusion. It involves intravenous injection of small amounts of a radioactive tracer at peak stress, followed by imaging of the heart with a gamma camera.

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

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