In this study, we investigated the role of gated myocardial glucose metabolic imaging in assessing left ventricular (LV) systolic dyssynchrony after myocardial infarction (MI) and explored the influencing factors. Bama mini-pigs were divided into normal group and MI group and subjected to gated

Between 1969 and 1983, 608 patients underwent mitral valve replacement surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Perioperative rupture of the left ventricular myocardium complicated seven operations (1.2%), five of them in the 247 patients with concomitant ischemic heart disease. Six ruptures were

BACKGROUND Two different commercially available gated single photon emission computed tomography (GSPECT) methods were compared in a population of patients with a major myocardial infarction. METHODS Rest thallium GSPECT was performed with a 90-degree dual-detector camera, 4 hours after injection of

BACKGROUND There is a growing interest in developing non-invasive imaging techniques permitting infarct size (IS) measurements in mice. The aim of this study was to validate the high-resolution rodent Linoview single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system for non-invasive measurements of

BACKGROUND Tetrofosmin gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) allows simultaneous assessment of regional myocardial perfusion, global and regional left ventricular function, and function at rest and during pharmacologic intervention. SPECT with fatty acid analogues, such as

OBJECTIVE To assess the left ventricular (LV) systolic synchrony by phase analysis of gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) with SPECT/CT in patients with old myocardial infarction (OMI) and further to identify independent predictors for LV dyssynchrony. METHODS Seventy-six OMI patients and

BACKGROUND Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) reduce scarring after myocardial infarction, increase viable myocardium, and boost cardiac function in preclinical models. We aimed to assess safety of such an approach in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. METHODS In

BACKGROUND This study determines the value of gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging soon after exercise to identify patients with single-vessel disease and exercise-induced prolonged myocardial dysfunction (ie, postischemic stunning). RESULTS We examined 19 normal

The quantification of myocardial perfusion abnormalities is necessary to allow comparison of repeated studies, especially in the evaluation of the success of medical, interventional or combined treatment in stable coronary artery disease or in evolving myocardial infarction. The purpose of this

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a potentially devastating complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Although there are substantial data reporting the incidence and cause of hemorrhagic CVA, reports of acute ischemic infarctions during DBS implantation surgery are rare. To present a

Prolonged impairment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function following exercise induced ischaemia has been well demonstrated. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of exercise induced ischaemia on the post-stress LV diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND Stress single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is commonly performed in patients with abnormal electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) to define risk stratification, but the published prognostic data for patients undergoing both SPECT and EBCT are limited. The objective of the

OBJECTIVE To establish, in a single resource, up-to-date recommendations for primary care physicians regarding prevention strategies for a first stroke. METHODS Members of the National Stroke Association's (NSA's) Stroke Prevention Advisory Board and Cedars-Sinai Health System Department of Health
