Nuclear cardiac imaging refers to cardiac radiological diagnostic techniques performed with
the aid of radiopharmaceuticals, which are perfused into the myocardium as markers. These …

Background Diabetes mellitus induces structural and functional cardiac alterations that can
result in heart failure. Left ventricular (LV) shape is a dynamic component of cardiac …

Background The prevalence of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease
(INOCA) is substantial, but its risk stratification has been suboptimal. Resting SPECT …

Background LV geometry with shape index (SI) and eccentricity index (EI) measured by
myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may …

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of left ventricular
(LV) shape parameters measured by gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in …

Background In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), ischaemic cardiomyopathy may
result in progressive cardiac remodelling and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Myocardial …

Stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects found in dipyridamole–thallium-201 single-
photon emission computed tomography imaging may indicate vascular perfusion …

Purpose To evaluate gender-related differences in diagnostic accuracy of cadmium‑zinc-
telluride (CZT) myocardial perfusion imaging in detecting single-and multi-vessel coronary …

Introduction and objectives The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between
structural, remodeling, synchrony, and systolic left ventricular (LV) function parameters using …

Background Abnormal left ventricular (LV) eccentricity index (EI) is a marker of adverse
cardiac remodeling. However, the interaction between stress-induced alterations of EI and …
