In diabetic subgroups, abnormal stress myocardial perfusion PET results were associated with elevated risk for cardiac death (HR = 4.4; 95% CI, 2-9.7) without any interactions for sex, obesity ...

Both, PET and SPECT scans are nuclear imaging techniques that provide metabolic and functional information of the heart. PET scans provide better image resolution and quality, but have not yet ...

Nuclear stress is an imaging test that shows how well blood flows into your heart when you’re exercising or at rest. This test is also known as myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) or a thallium ...

From 2006 to 2011, the number of MPI tests dropped by 58% among outpatients vs 31% among inpatients, and it declined by 56% in people younger than 65 vs 47% in older individuals.

Results showed that inducible myocardial ischemia (NPV = 90%; 95% CI, 83-95) was present in 10 of 101 patients in the derivation cohort with an hscTnI level below 2.5 pg/mL.

A new radioactive tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging will soon be available in the United States, and it’s expected to facilitate substantial growth in such ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...

The emerging advantages of positron-emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and assessment of cardiovascular event risk has ...

PET myocardial perfusion imaging more effective than SPECT scans in detecting coronary disease Date: March 11, 2018 Source: Intermountain Medical Center Summary: Patients who receive cardiac ...
