Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection, Aneurysms, and Pseudoaneurysms: A Review
TL;DR: The pertinent medical literature is reviewed and the intravascular findings of spontaneous coronary artery dissection, aneurysms, and pseudoaneurysms are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Left ventricular ejection fraction is a strong predictor of survival in patients with ESRD awaiting renal transplantation, measured by gated myocardial perfusion imaging, with 2.7% mortality increase for each 1% ejections fraction decrease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of renal artery stenosis in high-risk veterans referred to cardiac catheterization.

TL;DR: Selective renal angiography during routine coronaryAngiography in hypertensive veterans with coronary artery disease is safe and uncovers RAS in many older patients with PVD and renal insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rajesh Venkataraman,Fadi G. Hage,Todd A. Dorfman,Jaekyeong Heo,Raed A. Aqel,Angelo M. de Mattos,Ami E. Iskandrian +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the prognostic power of stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in 150 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) being evaluated for renal transplantation with known coronary anatomy using angiography.
