A convenient method is introduced for myocardial perfusion research by combining multislice short-axis cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MSA-CMR) and colored microspheres (CM). In canine control-ischemia-reperfusion (n = 11), Cardiac output (CO) was measured using MSA-CMR (COMSA), Phase Contrast CMR (PC-CMR, COPC) and CM (from reference blood samples, COmicro) in 3 experimental periods per animal. COmicro significantly and systematically overestimated COMSA (median deviation: 291 mL/min, p < 0.01), while there was excellent agreement between PC-CMR and MSA-CMR without significant over-or underestimation (median deviation: -14 ml/min, p = NS). In quantitative myocardial perfusion assay by CM, CMR should be used instead of reference blood sampling. This should improve the accuracy of absolute regional perfusion measurement.

Nuclear cardiology offers a diverse range of imaging tools that provide valuable insights into myocardial perfusion, inflammation, metabolism, neuroregulation, thrombosis, and microcalcification. These techniques are crucial not only for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular conditions but also for gaining pathophysiologic insights. Surrogate biomarkers in nuclear cardiology, represented by detectable imaging changes, correlate with disease processes or therapeutic responses and can serve as endpoints in clinical trials when they demonstrate a clear link with these processes.

The advancements in cardiovascular imaging over the past two decades have been significant. The miniaturization of ultrasound devices has greatly contributed to their widespread adoption in operating rooms and intensive care units. The integration of AI-enabled tools has further transformed the field by simplifying echocardiographic evaluations and enhancing the reproducibility of hemodynamic measurements, even for less experienced operators.

Background: Non-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important issue in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and non-left bundle branch block (LBBB). Electrocardiogram-gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography imaging (G-MPI SPECT) is typically used to assess left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. This study aimed to determine whether G-MPI parameters are associated with non-responsiveness to CRT.

Aims: Timely assessment of abnormal microvascular perfusion (MVP) may improve prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to determine the clinical implications of contrast-flow quantitative flow ratio (cQFR) in evaluating abnormal MVP and subsequent outcomes among STEMI patients after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
Methods: The study population consisted of 2 independent cohorts.

Background: Breast implants interfere with myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT) and echocardiographic windows leading to increased false positive results. To validate this concept, we hypothesized that patients with breast implants should have higher positive cardiac testing and coronary angiogram with lower percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) rates compared to women without a breast implant.
Methods: Using ICD 10 codes for breast implants, abnormal results of cardiac functional study, coronary angiogram, and percutaneous coronary interventions, we evaluated any association between these parameters in adult women with breast implants utilizing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.
