Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Appropriate Use on the Prognostic Value of Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

TL;DR: An abnormal MPI failed to predict major adverse cardiac events, although it was associated with a high revascularization rate, and appropriate MPI use provided incremental prognostic value beyond myocardial perfusion and ejection fraction data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The safety and tolerability of regadenoson in patients with end-stage renal disease: The first prospective evaluation

TL;DR: This is the first prospective study to confirm the safety and tolerability of regadenoson (REG)-stress in patients with ESRD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usefulness of the Electrocardiographic P-Wave Axis as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between abnormal electrocardiographic P-wave axis with atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been systematically studied in community-based populations, and the association was found in 4,274 participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attenuation of the side effect profile of regadenoson: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study with aminophylline in patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging and have severe chronic kidney disease--the ASSUAGE-CKD trial.

TL;DR: The routine standardized administration of intravenous aminophylline in patients with severe CKD substantially reduces the frequency and severity of the adverse-effects associated with regadenoson-stress without changing the ischemic burden.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prognostic value of cardiac SPECT performed at the primary care physician’s office

TL;DR: Contemporary SPECT-MPI performed in the setting of a PCP's office carries a robust prognostic value, similar to that reported in tertiary or large-volume practice settings.
