Objectives: The authors tested the hypothesis that exercise treadmill testing (ETT)–induced
ST-segment elevation (STE) in electrocardiographic lead aVR is an important indicator of …

Background Recent studies have demonstrated a superior diagnostic accuracy of
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for the detection of coronary artery disease …

Rationale 123 Im IBG planar image heart-to-mediastinum ratios effectively risk-stratify heart
failure (HF) patients. The value of single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) …

Background Attenuation correction (AC) improves the diagnostic outcome of stress-only
myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using conventional SPECT. Our aim was to determine …

Background Mental stress–induced myocardial ischemia is a frequent phenomenon in
patients with coronary artery disease. Women with coronary artery disease tend to have …

Objective To test the hypothesis that, in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected
coronary artery disease (CAD), stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) would result in …

Cardiac sympathetic upregulation is one of the neurohormonal compensation mechanisms
that play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF). In the past …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly being applied in the evaluation of
myocardial perfusion. Cardiac PET can be performed with an increasing variety of cyclotron …

Interstitial lung disease is an overarching term for a wide range of disorders characterized by
inflammation and/or fibrosis in the lungs. Most prevalent forms, among others, include …

Background Machine learning (ML) has shown promise in improving the risk prediction in
non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, including SPECT MPI and coronary CT angiography …
