To summarize recent evidence on mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), its mechanisms, and clinical significance....
MSIMI can occur in patients with normal cardiac stress testing, is only weakly related to severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), and it is often silent. Among patients with CAD, MSIMI is associate...
Myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and the extent of myocardial ischemia identify patients at high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Associations between positron emission tomography (PE...
Overall, 640 consecutive patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease undergoing...
Cardiovascular death and MACEs occurred in 17 (3%) and 93 (15%) patients, respectively. Following statistical adjustment for confounding factors, impaired MFR (global MFR < 2.0) was revealed as an ind...
Impaired MFR was significantly associated with increased risk of MACEs in patients with ≤ 10% myocardial ischemia but not with those having > 10% ischemia, allowing a clinically effective risk stratif...
Incomplete recovery with long-term complications weeks beyond the acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is referred to as long COVID. Among the well-known long-term complications of COVI...
Subjects were selected from eligible long COVID patients and control subjects without a prior history of COVID-19 who were referred to the nuclear medicine department for stress and rest single-photon...
Our results revealed that long COVID patients had higher rates of abnormal summed stress scores compared to the control subjects (p < 0.05). Additionally, serum CRP level, SPECT lung-to-heart ratio (L...
Our data indicate that SPECT MPI provides comprehensive information on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function in long COVID patients....
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury most commonly occurs in coronary artery disease when prompt reperfusion is used to salvage the ischemic myocardium. Cardiomyocyte death is a significant co...
Clinical events such as angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome, and sudden death caused by myocardial bridge (MB) have attracted increasing attention. It is still a challenge to diagnose whether MB ...
This article reports a case of chest pain in a patient with MB in the middle segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD...
For symptomatic patients with MB combined with fixed stenosis, functional evaluation may be necessary, which has significant guiding significance for treatment strategy selection. For asymptomatic pat...
The World Health Organization reported that cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. On average, one person dies of heart disease every 26 min worldwide. Deep learning appro...
Cadmium zinc telluride single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion resting-state images were collected at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan,...
In these grey-scale images, the heart blood flow distribution was the most crucial feature. The deep learning technique of You Only Look Once was used to determine the myocardial defect area and crop ...
Our prototype system can considerably reduce the time required for image interpretation and improve the quality of medical care. It can assist clinical experts by offering accurate coronary heart dise...
Ischemic heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. For the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, some form of cardiac stress test involving exercise or pharmaco...
To investigate the clinical effect of nicorandil combined with aspirin in the treatment of myocardial ischemia....
A total of 104 patients with myocardial ischemia were admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to August 2020. These patients were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into two groups:...
The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.15% (50/52), which was higher than that of the control group (61.54%, 32/52), and the difference was statistically significant (...
Nicorandil combined with aspirin in the treatment of patients with myocardial ischemia has a significant effect, which can effectively improve the electrocardiogram and cardiac function indicators of ...
Abnormal septal motion (ASM), which often is associated with myocardial ischemia, is also observed in other diseases. Owing to the position of the interventricular septum (IVS) in the heart, its movem...
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a common condition in cardiovascular diseases, and the mechanism of its occurrence involves multiple complex metabolic pathways and signaling pathways. Among ...
