Journal ArticleDOI
Late Gadolinium Enhancement by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Heralds an Adverse Prognosis in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: The CMR LGE may represent the end-organ consequences of sustained adrenergic activation and adverse LV remodeling, and its identification may significantly improve risk stratification strategies in this high risk population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The combination of CTA and perfusion correctly identifies patients with flow limiting CAD defined as ≥50 stenosis by ICA causing a perfusion defect by SPECT/MPI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine stress 64-and 256-row detector computed tomography angiography and perfusion imaging a pilot study evaluating the transmural extent of perfusion abnormalities to predict atherosclerosis causing myocardial ischemia

TL;DR: The combination of CTA and CTP can detect atherosclerosis causing perfusion abnormalities when compared with the combination of quantitative coronary angiography and SPECT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of myocardial perfusion using dynamic 64-detector computed tomography.

TL;DR: d-MDCT MBF measurements using upslope and model-based deconvolution methods correlate well with microsphere MBF, and may become clinically applicable in conjunction with coronary angiography and next generation MDCT scanners with larger detector arrays and full cardiac coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of coronary artery disease using magnetic resonance coronary angiography: a national multicenter trial.

TL;DR: Non-contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary MRA at 1.5-T can noninvasively detect significant CAD with high sensitivity and moderate specificity and can rule out CAD.
