Microvascular Dysfunction in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Quantitative Stress Perfusion Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Study
2019, JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingIntracoronary transplantation of CD34<sup>+</sup> cells is associated with improved myocardial perfusion in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
2015, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :The results of our study also suggest that patients with lower baseline perfusion defects may have a higher likelihood to respond to intracoronary stem cell therapy. Consistently with previous studies, we found that myocardial perfusion defects are common in patients with DCM and most commonly distributed in the LAD territory.11–19 Studies using positron-emission tomographic (PET) scanning have shown that up to 82% of patients with DCM show reduced myocardial blood flow, both at rest and during metabolic and pharmacologic vasodilation.20
Does isolated myocardial bridge really interfere with coronary blood flow?
2013, Egyptian Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :The interventional cardiologists now generally agree that angiographically, the systolic narrowing compression of the arterial lumen is caused by a myocardial bridge.4–8 The coronary flow rate is the most important determinant of myocardial oxygen supply.9 Multiple methods have been proposed to assess coronary flow rate among which thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction frame count (TFC) was a relatively new semiquantitative method.10
