Original Source: Image fusion of gated-SPECT and CT angiography in coronary artery disease. Importance of anatomic-functional correlation.
A 77-year old patient was admitted for acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. His risk was stratified using the myocardial perfusion gated SPECT, mild inferior ischemia being observed. Thus, medical therapy was optimized and the patient was discharged. He continued with exertional dyspnea so a coronary CT angiography was performed. It revealed severe lesions in the proximal RCA. SPECT-CT fusion images correlated the myocardial perfusion defect with a posterior descending artery from the RCA, in a co-...

Low risk with normal coronary arteries, nonobstructive CAD
(HealthDay)—Patients who experience acute chest pain, and have nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), as determined by coronary computed tomographic angiography, have similarly benign outcome...
Coronary arteries largely arise from cells of the endocardium
During embryonic development, the all-important coronary arteries arise from cells previously considered incapable of producing them, according to scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of...
New Therapeutic Target Identified For Coronary Heart Disease
Scientists investigating how certain genes affect an individual's risk of developing coronary heart disease have identified a new therapeutic target, according to research published in The American J...
Work Stress May Strain Coronary Arteries (CME/CE)
(MedPage Today) -- Being stressed on the job was associated with nearly a 25% increased risk of coronary heart disease in workers, researchers found.
Type: Original PaperPurposeArterial wall mass transport properties dictate local distribution of biomolecules or locally delivered dugs. Knowing how these properties vary between coronary artery locat...
Surprise origin for coronary arteries could speed advances in regenerative medicine

This study was aimed to investigate the use of 1.5-T whole-heart 3D coronary MRA employing a T2-prepared SSFP sequence for assessing epicardial coronary artery vasodilation following exogenous nitrate...
We attempted to assess coronary artery flow using adenosine-stress and dual-energy mode with dual-source CT (DE-CT). Data of 18 patients with suspected coronary arteries disease who had undergone card...
A 48-year-old man presented with severe chest pain that had started 2 h before and ST elevation on the electrocardiogram. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) was performed using a 64-slice multidetector...
This study aimed at determining the prevalence of epicardial and microvascular coronary spasm in patients with anginal symptoms, despite angiographically normal coronary arteries.
The Clinical Anatomy of the Coronary Arteries.
There are a manifold number of variations and anomalies of the origin and course of coronary arteries described in the literature. The incidence of such variations in the general population is reporte...
