Abstract Purpose of Review The prevalence of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction
(CTRCD) is increasing due to improved cancer survival. Serial monitoring of cardiac function …

Background Assessment of myocardial viability by 99mTc-sestamibi remains controversial.
Accordingly, we investigated the use of sestamibi as a marker of myocardial viability, defined …

OBJECTIVES.: This study prospectively evaluated whether early assessment with
adenosine thallium-201 tomography could better refine risk stratification on the basis of …

Background—Nitrates are widely used in the treatment of angina in patients with acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). Short-term administration prevents left ventricular (LV) dilation …

Cardiac volumes by equilibrium gated cardiac blood pool scans and heart rate were
measured in the supine and sitting positions in 64 male volunteer subjects (age 25–80 yrs) …

Beta-adrenergic blocking agents may have negative inotropic effects that are particularly
worrisome in patients with depressed cardiac function. Their membrane-stabilizing …

We prospectively investigated whether 201Tl single-photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) could accurately diagnose the presence and quantify the extent of acute …

Although serial left ventricular ejection fraction and volumetric measurements using gated
radionuclide angiography are commonly used to evaluate clinical changes and therapeutic …

Abstract Background Red blood cells (RBCs) labeled with single-photon emitters have been
clinically used for blood-pool imaging. Although some PET tracers have been introduced for …

The quantification of left ventricular (LV) volumes and assessment of their relation to systolic
and diastolic dysfunction, infarct size and anatomic location were performed in 54 patients …
