Purpose In clinical cardiac 82 Rb PET, globally impaired coronary flow reserve (CFR) is a
relevant marker for predicting short-term cardiovascular events. However, there are limited …

Background— Presence of delayed enhancement (DE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
is associated with worse clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We …

Misregistration of cardiac PET/CT data can lead to misinterpretation of regional myocardial
perfusion. However, the effect of misregistration on the quantification of myocardial blood flow …

Background The echocardiographic substudy of the OASIS‐6 trial evaluated the prognostic
implications of left ventricle (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction early postacute ST‐…

Ostial coronary disease presents a challenge from multiple perspectives with regard to
percutaneous intervention. We present a novel case of a technically challenging ostial right …

Significant hypoxemia can result from right-to-left intracardiac shunting through a patent
foramen ovale, an atrial septal defect or a ventricular septal defect. Pulmonary embolus, …
