Adjusted-dose warfarin versus low-intensity, fixed-dose warfarin plus aspirin for high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation: Stroke prevention in Atrial Fibrillation III Randomised Clinical Trial

Joseph L. Blackshear, +155 more
- 07 Sep 1996 - 
TL;DR: Low-intensity, fixed-dose warfarin plus aspirin in this regimen is insufficient for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF at high-risk for thromboembolism; adjusted-doseWarfarin (target INR 2.0-3.0) importantly reduces stroke for high- risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation Dose to Patients From Cardiac Diagnostic Imaging

TL;DR: Physicians ordering and performing cardiac imaging should be very familiar with the dosage of radiation from cardiac diagnostic tests and ways in which dose can be minimized, including nuclear scintigraphy, CT for calcium scoring and coronary angiography (CTCA), and conventional coronary angIography (CCA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Recommendations for reducing radiation exposure in myocardial perfusion imaging

TL;DR: Patients and medical professionals are scrutinizing the need for diagnostic testing and how radiation exposure can be reduced and there are three critical questions that physicians must consider and answer with regard to radiation exposure and performing MPI in a particular patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technetium-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging in the emergency room evaluation of chest pain.

TL;DR: Initial myocardial perfusion imaging with technetium-99m sestamibi when applied in emergency room patients with typical angina and a normal or nondiagnostic ECG appears to be highly accurate in distinguishing between low and high risk subjects.
