Evaluating stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects by non-invasive myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) modalities has taken a leading role in the identification of flow-limiting epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD); it has excellent diagnostic and prognostic value. Non-invasive MPI can be performed using conventional and novel gamma cameras or PET/CT.1 A range of imaging techniques has… View more

New Advances in the Management of Refractory Angina Pectoris
Author(s): Kevin Cheng , Ranil de Silva Added: 3 years ago
Refractory angina (RA) is defined as chronic angina-type chest pain (duration ≥ 3 months) associated with reversible ischaemia that persists despite optimal medical, interventional and surgical management.1 The clinical burden of RA is growing due to an ageing population and improved survival from coronary artery disease (CAD). Estimates suggest that in the US between 600,000 and 1.8 million… View more

During the last few years we have been facing a revolution in the field of cardioimaging for both diagnostic and short- and long-term prognostic purposes. The introduction of multislice computed tomography (CT) in clinical practice has allowed us to carry out non-invasive coronariography or, when performed without contrast agents, the imaging of coronary artery calcification. Arteriosclerosis can… View more

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) or syndrome was first described more than 2 decades ago by Dote and colleagues in Japan, but has since been increasingly recognised around the world.1 Takotsubo is the Japanese name for a the traditional octopus trapping pot that has a round bottom and narrow neck, resembling the appearance the left ventricle during the acute presentation (see Figure 1).2 Although,… View more

The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and intracerebral, particularly aneurysmal, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a well-known phenomenon. ECG alterations are observed in 50-100% of patients during the acute stage of SAH.1-3 Frequently, these effects are clinically not important. Some SAH patients, however, have structural cardiac damage with elevation of creatine kinase… View more

Imaging has played an instrumental role in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Arterial Doppler ultrasound, echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging tests and angiography are now part of everyday clinical practice and represent a cornerstone of atherosclerosis management.1 During the past two decades, there has been an expansion of the available imaging… View more
