TID is an abnormal finding in stress myocardial perfusion imaging that suggests severe and
extensive CAD and signifies a worse prognosis. TID has been reported with exercise and …

The European procedural guidelines for radionuclide imaging of myocardial perfusion and
viability are presented in 13 sections covering patient information, radiopharmaceuticals …

It is important that the medical profession play a significant role in critically evaluating the
use of diagnostic procedures and therapies in the management or prevention of disease …

Pharmacological stress in conjunction with radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging has
become a widely used noninvasive method of assessing patients with known or suspected …

Objectives: This study evaluated the prognostic value of transient ischemic dilation (TID) of
the left ventricle (LV) in patients with normal stress myocardial perfusion single photon …

Background The ability of stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging to predict
adverse cardiac events is well accepted. As left ventricular systolic function has also been …

The aim of our study was to derive and to validate the normal threshold for an automatically

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an established diagnostic test that provides useful
prognostic data in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. In more than …

BACKGROUND: Ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may occur after exercise but is
regarded as uncommon after vasodilator stress. We evaluated the prevalence of LV …
