Journal ArticleDOI

Altered myocardial fatty acid and glucose metabolism in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy exhibit alterations in myocardial metabolism characterized by decreased fatty acid metabolism and increased myocardian glucose metabolism, a pattern similar to that shown in animal models of HF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomic versus physiologic assessment of coronary artery disease. Role of coronary flow reserve, fractional flow reserve, and positron emission tomography imaging in revascularization decision-making.

TL;DR: The basic concepts that hold true for whatever technology measures coronary physiology directly and reliably are clarified, here focusing on positron emission tomography and its interplay with intracoronary measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase I/II Trial of Electrophysiology-Guided Noninvasive Cardiac Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia.

TL;DR: Noninvasive electrophysiology-guided cardiac radioablation is associated with markedly reduced ventricular arrhythmia burden with modest short-term risks, reduction in antiarrhythmic drug use, and improvement in quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased myocardial fatty acid metabolism in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Humans with diabetes mellitus exhibit increased MFAU and MFAO and reduced MGU consistent with observations obtained in experimental models of diabetes.
