Evaluation of possible cardiac complications is essential for safe and effective respiratory
rehabilitation of patients with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). The aim of this study is to …

Background The significance of differences in electrocardiographic morphology that occur
during the recovery phase after exercise has not been clarified. We investigated the …

Background. Patients with ischemic electrocardiographic (ECG) findings during exercise
stress testing but normal perfusion images generally have a low risk of cardiac death or …

Background The determinants of an ischemic electrocardiographic (ECG) response in
patients with exercise-induced ischemia on single-photon emission computed tomography …

The present study evaluates left ventricular performance during exercise by ECG-gated
myocardial perfusion SPECT with short-time data collection. Methods: The study population …

Background We investigated whether poststress left ventricular dysfunction in patients with
coronary artery disease may be confirmed at 30 minutes after exercise using newly modified …

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular systolic function, expressed as ejection fraction (LVEF), is
an important determinant of prognosis for cardiac disease, and is the basis for therapeutic …

Stress and rest cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is
performed in patients with a wide range of heart rates and may occur during periods of …

The significance of exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is largely dependent on
the clinical characteristics of the studied population. The relation between exercise-induced …

Background. We evaluate the prognostic value of stress echo and gated single photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) after a first uncomplicated acute myocardial …
