Angiographic assessment of myocardial perfusion: TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grading system.
Since the introduction of reperfusion therapy in the early 1980s, cardiologists have largely focused on coronary artery flow and diameter, with the goal being to restore normal epicardial artery perfusion and large lumens. For many years, epicardial coronary flow has been simply assessed by the TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) flow grade. This semiquantitative coronary angiographic ...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملNicorandil effect on myocardial perfusion in patients with slow coronary flow phenomenon assessment by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT
Introduction:Patients with the coronary slow flow phenomenon (SCF) frequently experience angina episodes. The purpose of this study was to determine efficacy of nicorandil in myocardial perfusion in patients with SCF. Methods: Twenty patients (50.85 ± 12.96 y) with SCF were studied. We evaluate coronary slow flow according to protracted thrombolysis in m...
متن کاملAngiographic Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion Using Correlation Analysis
Although angiography was originally designed as a morphological imaging modality, it is increasingly demanded to retrieve functional information from conventional angiograms. As X-ray angiography provides only 2D projection images, its most significant advantage over volumetric imaging modalities is its high temporal resolution. Thus the angiographic functional imaging relies mainly on the anal...
