Journal ArticleDOI
Update on the safety and efficacy of commercial ultrasound contrast agents in cardiac applications.
TL;DR: The present review focuses on the use of UCAs in today's clinical practice, including the approved indications, a variety of off-label uses, and the most recent data, which affirms the safety and efficacy ofUCAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac imaging for the assessment of patients being evaluated for kidney or liver transplantation.
TL;DR: The burden of coronary artery disease among kidney and liver transplant candidates is addressed and the literature pertaining to the diagnostic accuracy and the prognostic value of noninvasive cardiac imaging techniques in this population is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a clinical pathway to assess asymptomatic renal transplant candidates using myocardial perfusion imaging
Rami Doukky,Ibtihaj Fughhi,Tania Campagnoli,Marwan Wassouf,Michael Kharouta,Aviral Vij,Chiedozie Anokwute,Andrew Appis,Amjad Ali +8 more
TL;DR: Asymptomatic kidney transplant candidates with ≥3 AHA/ACCF risk factors are at increased cardiac risk, and should be considered for noninvasive CAD surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prognostic value of heart rate response during vasodilator stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing renal transplantation.
Wael AlJaroudi,Chiedozie Anokwute,Ibtihaj Fughhi,Tania Campagnoli,Marwan Wassouf,Aviral Vij,Michael Kharouta,Andrew Appis,Amjad Ali,Rami Doukky +9 more
TL;DR: In asymptomatic ESRD patients being evaluated for RT, a blunted pre-transplant HRR was predictive of post-RT MACE, and may be a valuable tool in the risk assessment of RT candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Appropriate Use on the Estimated Radiation Risk to Men and Women Undergoing Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Rami Doukky,Nathan Frogge,Andrew Appis,Kathleen Hayes,George Khoudary,Louis Fogg,Kim A. Williams +6 more
TL;DR: Inappropriate MPI use is associated with excess cancer risk and lower MPI’s benefit-to-risk ratio, and appropriate/uncertain use neutralizes the sex gap in LAR with MPI.
