PROGRESSION OF CORONARY MICROVASCULAR DYSFUNCTION TO HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION: A CASE REPORT

Progression of coronary microvascular dysfunction to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a case report

Sandals Abstract Background In women with evidence of ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease the underlying mechanism is most often attributed to coronary microvascular dysfunction.Higher rates of adverse cardiovascular events, specifically heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, are present in women with coronary microvascular

Reduction in Radiation Exposure of CT Perfusion by Optimized Imaging Timing Using Temporal Information of the Preceding CT Angiography of the Carotid Artery in the Stroke Protocol

(1) Background: CT perfusion (CTP) is a fast, robust and widely available but dose-exposing imaging technique for infarct core and penumbra detection.Carotid CT angiography (CTA) can precede CTP in the stroke protocol.Temporal information of the bolus tracking series of Dinosaurs CTA could allow for better timing and a decreased number of scans in
