Evaluation of splenic switch off in a tertiary imaging centre: validation and assessment of utility.
(2017-11-01)
Aims: Adenosine can induce splenic vasoconstriction (splenic switch-off, SSO). In this study, we aim to evaluate the utility of identifying a lack of SSO for detecting false-negative adenosine stress perfusion cardiac ...

RATIONALE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients develop increased cardiovascular morbidity with structural alterations. OBJECTIVES: This double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study investigated the effect ...
Ineffective and prolonged apical contraction is associated with chest pain and ischaemia in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
(2018-01-15)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the hypothesis that persistence of apical contraction into diastole is linked to reduced myocardial perfusion and chest pain. BACKGROUND: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by ...
