Mashup Score: 53Prognostic Value of Myocardial Flow Reserve versus Corrected Myocardial Flow Reserve in Patients without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease - 1 month(s) ago
Myocardial flow reserve (MFR) by positron emission tomography (PET) is a validated measure of cardiovascular risk. Elevated resting rate pressure product (RPP = heart rate x systolic blood pressure) can cause high resting myocardial blood flow (MBF), resulting in reduced MFR despite normal/near-normal peak stress MBF. When resting MBF is high, it is not known if RPP-corrected MFR (MFRcorrected) helps reclassify CV risk. We aimed to study this question in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).

Mashup Score: 4Role of CT attenuation correction gated SPECT MPI in prediction of pulmonary hypertension - 3 month(s) ago
To elucidate the value of gated SPECT-MPI using CT attenuation correction (AC) for prediction of pulmonary hypertension (PHT) in coronary patients by estimation of reliability of non-contrast CT in measurement of main pulmonary artery diameter (MPAd) as well as by assessment of potential predictive role of gated parameters as beneficial accessory findings.

Mashup Score: 20
The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of 15O-water positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) using the truth-standard of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) or instantaneous wave-Free Ratio (iFR) or coronary computed tomography angiogram (CCTA).

Mashup Score: 7Is typical angina still prognostically important? The influence of “treatment bias” upon prognostic assessments - 3 month(s) ago
Since typical angina has become less frequent, it is unclear if this symptom still has prognostic significance.

When perfusion and stress MBF are normal but MFR is abnormal due to high rest flows, should we report RPP corrected or uncorrected values? The answer: uncorrected. @DanielMHuck at #ACC24 with a simultaneous pub in @JNCjournal @BWHCVImaging @mdicarli https://t.co/4Rg7k4UHUc https://t.co/Z8tkfOmpKB
