In patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (EF), non-invasive cardiac
imaging provides diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information and assists decision …

Background—The choice of imaging techniques in patients with suspected coronary artery
disease (CAD) varies between countries, regions, and hospitals. This prospective …

Since the publication of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) procedural
guidelines for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in 2005, many small and …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide.
Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging with either single-photon emission computed …

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of CAD as well as
plaque morphology in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes using multi-slice …

Heart failure (HF) is characterized by activation of the sympathetic cardiac nerves. The
condition of cardiac sympathetic nerves can be evaluated by 123 I …

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and subclinical systolic
dysfunction may be markers of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether these …

Aims Hybrid imaging provides a non-invasive assessment of coronary anatomy and
myocardial perfusion. We sought to evaluate the added clinical value of hybrid imaging in a …

Aims The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate prognostic endpoint
for myocardial 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in patients with chronic …

Purpose Despite its high prognostic value, widespread clinical implementation of 123 I-meta-
iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy is hampered by a lack of validation …
