Flow-targeted inversion-prepared b-TFE coronary MR angiography: initial results in patients.

12 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Visualization of coronary blood flow in the right and left coronary system in volunteers and patients by means of a modified inversion-prepared bright-blood coronary magnetic resonance angiography (cMRA) sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ... Read more...

Is there a preventive value in non-invasive cardiac imaging? Debate on the case of a marathon runner.

21 Sep 2009 HISTORY: A 64-year old male marathon runner noted during training an asymptomatic sudden increase in heart rate as recorded on his heart rate monitor. But this was not verifiable on subsequent Holter-ECG monitoring. However, treadmill exercise ... Read more...

Identification of a coronary vascular progenitor cell in the human heart.

25 Aug 2009 Primitive cells capable of generating small resistance arterioles and capillary structures in the injured myocardium have been identified repeatedly. However, these cells do not form large conductive coronary arteries that would have important ... Read more...
