This review summarises the evidence for the role of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
(MPS) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. It is the product of a …

Background—This study evaluated the hypothesis that transendocardial injections of
autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells in patients with end-stage ischemic heart …

It is important that the medical profession play a significant role in critically evaluating the
use of diagnostic procedures and therapies in the management or prevention of disease …

Background We evaluated the incremental prognostic value, the role in risk stratification,
and the impact on patient management of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission …

Over the past years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has proven its efficacy in
large clinical trials, and consequently, the assessment of function, viability, and ischaemia by …

Aims To determine in a multicentre, multivendor trial the diagnostic performance for
perfusion-cardiac magnetic resonance (perfusion-CMR) in comparison with coronary X-ray …

Context.—Cardiac imaging has advanced rapidly, providing clinicians with several choices
for evaluating patients with suspected coronary artery disease, but few studies compare …

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the incremental prognostic implications of normal and
equivocal exercise technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi single-photon emission computed …

Background. To simplify development of normal limits for myocardial perfusion SPECT
(MPS), we implemented a quantification scheme in which normal limits are derived without …

Background The purpose of the present study was to assess the diagnostic performance of
attenuation-corrected (AC) stress 99mTc-sestamibi cardiac single-photon emission …
