Feasibility and prognostic value of stress-perfusion CMR in obesity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Obesity is an emerging population at high risk for cardiac events for which robust stress imaging techniques are necessary. Stress-perfusion CMR has high image resolution and is less affected by tissue attenuation compared to nuclear scintigraphy. However, its prognostic value in obese patients has not been determined. We hypothesized that stress-perfusion CMR can effectively prognosticate obese patients with suspected myocardial ischemia.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation
Background Several studies have demonstrated the consistently high diagnostic and prognostic value of adenosine stress perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of CMR stress perfusion in patients with atrial fibrillation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of CMR stress perfusion imaging in patients with ...

متن کاملVasodilator stress perfusion CMR imaging is feasible and prognostic in obese patients.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine feasibility and prognostic performance of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m(2)). BACKGROUND Current stress imaging methods remain limited in obese patients. Given the impact of the obesity epidemic on cardiovascular disease, alternative methods to effectively risk stratify obese patients are need...
متن کاملPrognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance stress perfusion imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation
Methods 130 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation referred for perfusion stress CMR using either adenosine or regadenoson were followed for hard cardiovascular events defined as cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MACE). Ischemia was defined as new onset of perfusion defects in at least two myocardial segments (positive test). Multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were pe...
متن کاملPrognostic value of adenosine stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement
Background Adenosine stress CMR is a non invasive test with high sensitivity for the detection of IHD, and is now frequently combined with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. This may augment its prognostic accuracy for predicting cardiovascular events. Previous studies have failed to appraise the combination of adenosine stress perfusion CMR with LGE for this purpose, and generally popu...
