Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Cardiac Risk Assessment With Noninvasive Measures of Coronary Flow Reserve
Venkatesh L. Murthy,Masanao Naya,Courtney Foster,Jon Hainer,Mariya Gaber,Gilda Di Carli,Ron Blankstein,Sharmila Dorbala,Arkadiusz Sitek,Michael J. Pencina,Marcelo F. Di Carli +10 more
TL;DR: Noninvasive quantitative assessment of coronary vasodilator function with positron emission tomography is a powerful, independent predictor of cardiac mortality in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and provides meaningful incremental risk stratification over clinical and gated myocardial perfusion imaging variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Sex on Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Cardiac Outcomes
Venkatesh L. Murthy,Masanao Naya,Viviany R. Taqueti,Courtney Foster,Mariya Gaber,Jon Hainer,Sharmila Dorbala,Ron Blankstein,Ornella Rimoldi,Paolo G. Camici,Marcelo F. Di Carli +10 more
TL;DR: The high prevalence of CMD in both sexes suggests that it may be a useful target for future therapeutic interventions, and coronary flow reserve was a powerful incremental predictor of major adverse cardiac events regardless of sex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Coronary Vascular Dysfunction and Cardiac Mortality in Patients with and without Diabetes Mellitus
Venkatesh L. Murthy,Masanao Naya,Courtney Foster,Mariya Gaber,Jon Hainer,Josh Klein,Sharmila Dorbala,Ron Blankstein,Marcelo F. Di Carli +8 more
TL;DR: Coronary vasodilator dysfunction is a powerful, independent correlate of cardiac mortality among both diabetics and nondiabetic patients and provides meaningful incremental risk stratification among diabetic patients without CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global coronary flow reserve is associated with adverse cardiovascular events independently of luminal angiographic severity and modifies the effect of early revascularization.
Viviany R. Taqueti,Rory Hachamovitch,Venkatesh L. Murthy,Masanao Naya,Courtney Foster,Jon Hainer,Sharmila Dorbala,Ron Blankstein,Marcelo F. Di Carli +8 more
TL;DR: CFR was associated with outcomes independently of angiographic CAD and modified the effect of early revascularization, and Diffuse atherosclerosis and associated microvascular dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular death and heart failure, and impact the outcomes ofRevascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excess Cardiovascular Risk in Women Relative to Men Referred for Coronary Angiography Is Associated With Severely Impaired Coronary Flow Reserve, Not Obstructive Disease
Viviany R. Taqueti,Leslee J. Shaw,Nancy R. Cook,Venkatesh L. Murthy,Nishant R. Shah,Courtney Foster,Jon Hainer,Ron Blankstein,Sharmila Dorbala,Marcelo F. Di Carli +9 more
TL;DR: Women referred for coronary angiography had a significantly lower burden of obstructive CAD in comparison with men but were not protected from CVD events, and impaired CFR may represent a novel target for CVD risk reduction.
