Case presentation commentary on "ammonia for positron emission tomography (PET): A promising technique for patients with LBBB and suspicion of coronary artery disease".
TL;DR: This case presents a potential change in diagnostic approach to patients undergo functional assessment with a baseline LBBB and it is clarified that the patients should not use dobutamine as a pharmacologic agent due to its ability to increase the heart rate similarly to exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic utility of negative stress/rest myocardial SPECT studies among patients with different clinical categories of chronic kidney disease: Data from an Egyptian cohort
TL;DR: Patients with chronic kidney disease showed higher event rate at one and 2 years of follow-up compared to other clinical categories of CKD and eGFR and duration of hemodialysis were the independent predictors of cardiac events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear cardiology for a cardiothoracic surgeon
TL;DR: Basic concepts of nuclear cardiology about what a cardiac surgeon should be aware of are covered, including myocardial perfusion imaging, which is a basic adjunct to the noninvasive assessment of patients with stable angina, baseline electrocardiogram abnormalities, post-revascularisation assessment, and heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non ECG gated supine to prone left ventricular volume ratio: a novel marker for myocardial ischemia.
TL;DR: SPLVr is a novel marker that negatively correlates with extent of perfusion abnormalities and is lower amongst TID patients with severe CAD and larger studies are needed to assess if SPLVr can reliably identify underlying severe CAD amongst T ID cases.
