Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that may occur because of infections,
immune system activation, or exposure to drugs. The diagnosis of myocarditis has changed due …

wall motion in these viable segments may further improve or diminish, reflecting inducible
ischemia. This “biphasic response” is highly predictive of recovery of function after …

In 57 normal subjects (age 20-60 years), we analyzed the spontaneous beat-to-beat
oscillation in RR interval during control recumbent position, 90 degrees upright tilt, controlled …

Synaptic dopamine release from embryonic nigral transplants has been monitored in the
striatum of a patient with Parkinson's disease using [11 C]-raclopride positron emission …

Background— Development of left ventricular hypertrophy in aortic stenosis (AS) is
accompanied by coronary microcirculatory dysfunction, demonstrated by an impaired coronary …

Background— Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a prevalent and prognostically
important finding in patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease. The …

Obstructive disease of the epicardial coronary arteries was recognized as the cause of
angina pectoris >2 centuries ago, and sudden thrombotic occlusion of an epicardial coronary …

We studied the neural determinants of the second (ie, high frequency, HF)- and third-order (ie,
low frequency, LF) spontaneous oscillations of heart period (RR interval) and arterial …

Objective: Absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) is not well-defined in large normal
populations, and appears to be heterogeneous in both humans and animals. These factors …

Aims We sought to determine whether intraplaque inflammation could be measured with
positron emission tomography/computed tomography angiography (PET/CTA) using 11 C-…
