Nuclear cardiac testing is most appropriate in the diagnosis of CAD in patients who have an intermediate likelihood of disease. Low-risk patients may need no additional testing, while high-risk ...

Not every center schedules its rest and stress studies the same way; however, the test is always performed at rest and at stress to see how your heart and blood vessels are functioning. In the event ...

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Test (MIBI): shows how well blood flows through or perfuses your heart. It can show both the areas of the heart muscle that aren't getting enough blood flow and how well ...

The nuclear stress test can show how blood flows through your heart muscles. This reveals how well the heart pumps blood and areas of your heart muscles that do not get enough blood. Nuclear stress is ...

Use of 3-D whole heart myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately predicts the presence of ischemia-producing stenosis as measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR). The ...

Introduction: Recent technical advances in stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allow for myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification (quantitative perfusion CMR [QP CMR]).

Advances in cardiovascular imaging have resulted in the development of multiple noninvasive techniques to evaluate myocardial perfusion and coronary anatomy, each of which has unique strengths and ...

"My dad had an interesting summer. He actually, um, had a quintuple bypass surgery. And that's a really intense surgery." Taylor Swift is getting personal on the New Heights Podcast, revealing that ...
