Chest pain in the emergency department: role of cardiac imaging

F. J. Wackers

Millions of patients with acute chest pain, or other symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), are evaluated daily in emergency departments (EDs) around the world. These patients comprise a broad spectrum of cardiac risk. At one end of the spectrum are …

Detection of coronary artery disease with perfusion stress echocardiography using a novel ultrasound imaging agent: two Phase 3 international trials in comparison with radionuclide perfusion imaging

Roxy Senior, Mark Monaghan, M MAIN, José Luis Zamorano et autres

To determine if perfusion stress echocardiography (PSE) with Imagify™ (perflubutane polymer microspheres) is comparable to stress perfusion imaging using 99m Tc single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for coronary artery disease (CAD) detection. PSE is a novel technique for evaluating myocardial perfusion. …

False-negative dipyridamole-thallium-201 myocardial imaging after caffeine infusion.

Paul Smits, Frans H.M. Corstens, W.R.M. Aengevaeren, F. J. Wackers et autres

The vasodilator effect of intravenously administered dipyridamole may be caused by an increase in endogenous plasma adenosine levels. We evaluated the effect of caffeine, an adenosine receptor antagonist, on the diagnostic results of dipyridamole-201Tl myocardial imaging in eight patients with coronary artery …

Radionuclide methods for evaluating the results of thrombolytic therapy.

Barry L. Zaret, F. J. Wackers

In summary, a variety of nuclear techniques may be used to investigate the effects of thrombolytic therapy and myocardial reperfusion. Assessments of global and regional ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, and metabolic integrity are available and appear to add substantially to conventional assessment. …

Fast washout of TL-201 from infarct area: Sign of reestablished coronary blood flow

F. J. Wackers, K A Brown, John P. Clements

Relative fast (F) washout (WO) of Tl-201 from an area of myocardial infarction (MI) occasionally can be demonstrated by quantitative analysis of exercise (EX) scans. Recently FWO was reported in predischarge EX-Tl-201 scans in patients (PTS) who had thrombolysis in evolving acute …
