Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Chronic Kidney Disease
Orlando M. Gutiérrez,James L. Januzzi,Tamara Isakova,Karen Laliberte,Kelsey Smith,Gina Collerone,Ammar Sarwar,Udo Hoffmann,Erin Coglianese,Robert H. Christenson,Thomas J. Wang,Christopher DeFilippi,Myles Wolf +12 more
TL;DR: FGF-23 is independently associated withleft ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with CKD, and whether increased FGF- 23 is a marker or a potential mechanism of myocardial hyperTrophy in CKD requires further study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Absence of Coronary Artery Calcification
Ammar Sarwar,Leslee J. Shaw,Michael D. Shapiro,Ron Blankstein,Udo Hoffman,Ricardo C. Cury,Suhny Abbara,Thomas J. Brady,Matthew J. Budoff,Roger S. Blumenthal,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the absence of CAC is associated with a very low risk of future cardiovascular events, with modest incremental value of other diagnostic tests in this very low-risk group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine-induced stress myocardial perfusion imaging using dual-source cardiac computed tomography.
Ron Blankstein,Ron Blankstein,Leon Shturman,Ian S. Rogers,Jose A. Rocha-Filho,David R. Okada,Ammar Sarwar,Anand Soni,Hiram G. Bezerra,Hiram G. Bezerra,Brian B. Ghoshhajra,Milena Petranovic,Ricardo Loureiro,Gudrun Feuchtner,Gudrun Feuchtner,Henry Gewirtz,Udo Hoffmann,Wilfred Mamuya,Thomas J. Brady,Ricardo C. Cury +19 more
TL;DR: Adenosine stress CT can identify stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects with diagnostic accuracy comparable to SPECT, with similar radiation dose and with the advantage of providing information on coronary stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distal radius in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa: trabecular structure analysis with high-resolution flat-panel volume CT.
Miriam A. Bredella,Madhusmita Misra,Karen K. Miller,Ijad Madisch,Ammar Sarwar,Arnold C. Cheung,Anne Klibanski,Rajiv Gupta +7 more
TL;DR: Flat-panel volume CT is effective in evaluation of trabecular structure in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa and demonstrates that bone structure is abnormal in these patients compared with that in normal-weight control subjects despite normal BMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct comparison of rest and adenosine stress myocardial perfusion CT with rest and stress SPECT.
David R. Okada,Brian B. Ghoshhajra,Ron Blankstein,Ron Blankstein,Jose A. Rocha-Filho,Leonid D. Shturman,Ian S. Rogers,Hiram G. Bezerra,Ammar Sarwar,Ammar Sarwar,Henry Gewirtz,Udo Hoffmann,Wilfred Mamuya,Thomas J. Brady,Ricardo C. Cury +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the level of agreement between adenosine-mediated stress imaging (CTP) and SPECT-MPI at rest and under stress on a per-segment, per-vessel, and per-patient basis was determined.
