Echocardiography plays a key role in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) but can be
inconclusive in patients in whom prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is suspected. The …

Background Albuminuria is of one the strongest predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
in diabetes. Diabetes is associated with cardiac microvascular dysfunction (CMD), a powerful…

Purpose Cardiac involvement in familial transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is of major prognostic
value, and the development of early-diagnostic tools that could trigger the use of new …

Purpose Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is
associated with an increased risk of stroke. Indeed, silent AF is frequently identified in …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performances for the
detection of myocardial ischemia of 82-Rb-PET-MPS and 99m-Tc-SPECT-MPS in overweight …

Aims To assess the value of mechanical dyssynchrony measured by equilibrium radionuclide
angiography (ERNA) in predicting long-term outcome in cardiac resynchronization therapy …

Cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) often share common risk factors, and patients
with CVD who develop cancer are at high risk of experiencing major adverse cardiovascular …

Background Three main imaging techniques are commonly used to identify cardiac transthyretin
(ATTR) amyloidosis: echocardiography, MRI and DPD scintigraphy. Each one provides …

518 Objectives Imaging of cardiac innervation using sequential dual isotope (123I-MIBG /
201Thallium) SPECT is hampered by poor quality of images and acquisition duration. …

133 Objectives Heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) is the most robust parameter to quantify
sympathetic denervation with 123I-MIBG. The ability of cardiac CZT cameras to provide …
