Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine as an adjunct to thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction: Results of a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial: the Acute Myocardial Infarction STudy of ADenosine (AMISTAD) Trial
Kenneth W. Mahaffey,Joseph A. Puma,N.Alejandro Barbagelata,Marcelo F. DiCarli,Massoud A. Leesar,Kevin F. Browne,Paul R. Eisenberg,Roberto Bolli,A.Cecilia Casas,Victor Molina-Viamonte,Cesare Orlandi,Roger Blevins,Raymond J. Gibbons,Robert M. Califf,Christopher B. Granger +14 more
TL;DR: The AMISTAD trial as discussed by the authors was designed to test the hypothesis that adenosine as an adjunct to thrombolysis would reduce myocardial infarct, and the results showed that the hypothesis was true.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient preparation for cardiac fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging of inflammation
Michael T. Osborne,Michael T. Osborne,Edward Hulten,Venkatesh L. Murthy,Hicham Skali,Viviany R. Taqueti,Sharmila Dorbala,Marcelo F. DiCarli,Ron Blankstein +8 more
TL;DR: This review describes various patient preparation protocols that have been used as well as the success rates achieved in different studies and suggests that isolated fasting for less than 12 hours and supplementation with food or drink just prior to imaging should be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Vascular Biology of Atherosclerosis and Imaging Targets
TL;DR: The imaging of atherosclerosis is reaching beyond anatomy to encompass assessment of aspects of plaque biology related to the pathogenesis and complication of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iodinated Contrast Opacification Gradients in Normal Coronary Arteries Imaged With Prospectively ECG-Gated Single Heart Beat 320-Detector Row Computed Tomography
Michael L. Steigner,Dimitrios Mitsouras,Amanda G. Whitmore,Hansel J. Otero,Chunliang Wang,Orla Buckley,Noah A. Levit,Alia Z. Hussain,Tianxi Cai,Richard T. Mather,Örjan Smedby,Marcelo F. DiCarli,Frank J. Rybicki +12 more
TL;DR: Measurement of contrast opacification gradients from temporally uniform coronary CTA demonstrates feasibility and reproducibility in patients with normal coronary arteries, and preliminary evaluation of gradients across coronary artery lesions is promising but requires additional study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicenter Trial of High-Speed Versus Conventional Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Imaging : Quantitative Results of Myocardial Perfusion and Left Ventricular Function
Tali Sharir,Piotr J. Slomka,Sean W. Hayes,Marcelo F. DiCarli,Jack A. Ziffer,William H. Martin,Dalia Dickman,Simona Ben-Haim,Daniel S. Berman +8 more
TL;DR: The high-speed SPECT technology provides quantitative measures of myocardial perfusion and function comparable to those with conventional SPECT in one-seventh of the acquisition time.
