Since the introduction of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, the incidence
of coronary artery reocclusion has been intensively studied. Also, the prediction and …

Objectives. This study was designed to evaluate the relative prognostic significance of restrictive
left ventricular (LV) filling after acute myocardial infarction. Background. Data regarding …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated the high sensitivity and moderate specificity
of standard magnetic resonance (MR) spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (GE) techniques …

The aim of this study was to assess the value of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
in patients with atrial fibrillation in predicting restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm …

Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
compared with standard monoplane left ventriculography in 46 patients with various cardiac …

Objectives. In the APRICOT study (Antithrombotics in the Prevention of Reocclusion In
Coronary Thrombolysis), we sought to determine whether angiographic characteristics of the …

To determine the clinical significance of transient remote asynergy after the first acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), 2-dimensional echocardiography was performed at rest and directly …

The clinical value of magnetic resonance perfusion imaging ( MRI ) was investigated by
quantitative comparison with 201 thallium‐single‐photon emission computed tomography ( 201 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of first-pass MR imaging for
measurement of regional myocardial blood flow in human beings. The first pass of the contrast …

The use of the paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-diethylene-triamine pentaacetic acid
(DTPA) was evaluated in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 18 patients with an acute …
