Prognostic value of D-SPECT-derived myocardial flow reserve in detecting coronary microvascular disease and predicting outcomes after complete revascularization: a two-center pilot study.

Stress Perfusion CMR to Prognosticate for Left Main and High Risk Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease and Major Cardiovascular Adverse Events: Outcomes From a 4,144-Patient Multicenter Cohort.

BACKGROUND Left main (LM) and multivessel coronary disease (MVD) are high-risk conditions in which surgical revascularization may be preferred over medical or percutaneous therapies, yet may be missed by conventional imaging. Vasodilator stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) appeared promising in resolving...

The prognostic value of quantitative myocardial blood flow and flow reserve by dynamic CZT-SPECT for major adverse cardiovascular events.

STAGED MYOCARDIAL REVASCULARIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND MULTIVESSEL CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE BASED ON CORONARY PHYSIOLOGY PARAMETERS IN NON-INFARCT-RELATED ARTERIES: ANALYSIS OF OUTCOMES ACCORDING TO MID-TERM FOLLOW-UP

Highlights The study demonstrates that in patients with uncomplicated STEMI and intermediate stenoses of non-infarct-related arteries, performing staged complete revascularization only with a hemodynamically significant fractional flow reserve (FFR) value ≤ 0.80 at 30–45 days after primary intervention is associat...

Coronary Physiologic Burden Assessed by Mean Angiography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve Predicts Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease frequently coexists with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and contributes to adverse outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Conventional lesion-based assessments may underestimate the cumulative impact of diffuse coronary physiologic impairment in this population. T...

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve From a Large Nationwide Cohort.

BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) in stable coronary artery disease is well established. The prognostic value of predicting future cardiovascular events is less clear, as studies are limited by small populations, variable measurement poi...

Correlation between SYNTAX Score and Myocardial Ischemia as Assessed by SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Patients Undergoing Coronary Interventions

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cardiovascular health problem. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), especially single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), provides valuable diagnostic and prognostic information after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The Synergy Between PCI with TAXUS and Cardia...
