Abnormal regional left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: clinical significance of post-ischemic diastolic stunning.

18 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to characterize both regional left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function after percutaneous coronary intervention by using strain imaging (SI) derived from 2-dimensional speckle-tracking ... Read more...

Altered myocardial substrate metabolism and decreased diastolic function in nonischemic human diabetic cardiomyopathy: studies with cardiac positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

11 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate myocardial substrate and high-energy phosphate (HEP) metabolism in asymptomatic men with well-controlled, uncomplicated type 2 diabetes with verified absence of cardiac ischemia, and age-matched ... Read more...

Assessment of microcirculatory remodeling with intracoronary flow velocity and pressure measurements: validation with endomyocardial sampling in cardiac allografts.

3 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Intracoronary physiology techniques have been validated extensively for the assessment of epicardial stenoses but not for the lone study of coronary microcirculation. We performed a comparison between 4 intracoronary physiological ... Read more...
