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 ...

Not every center schedules its rest and stress studies the same way; however, the test is always performed at rest and at stress to see how your heart and blood vessels are functioning. In the event ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...

A cardiac hybrid imaging technique that fuses SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans can help predict major adverse cardiac events in patients suspected of ...

To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

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 ...
