Background: Abnormal values of the transient ischemic dilation (TID) ratio are associated with severe and extensive coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between TID, determined from stress and rest ventricular volumes during regadenoson gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) dual isotope studies, and the extent of CAD found during coronary angiography.
Methods: 195 patients who underwent dual isotope MPI with regadenoson and cardiac angiography between March 2009 and February 2010 were analyzed. TID was calculated using commercially available software, Emory Cardiac Toolbox. Mean TID values were compared across disease types. A threshold for abnormal TID was determined by adding two standard deviations (SDs) to the mean TID of the "non-obstructive CAD" subgroup.
Results: In the 195-patient group analyzed, the mean TID ratio for non-obstructive CAD (n = 104) was found to be 1.09 with a SD of 0.15. In a subgroup of patients whose angiogram was within 3 months of MPI (n = 155), the mean TIDs for non-obstructive disease (n = 81), single-vessel disease (n = 35), and multi-vessel disease (n = 39) were 1.09, 1.15, and 1.19 with SDs of 0.16, 0.19, and 0.26, respectively. Those with an abnormal TID had a crude and adjusted odds ratio of 3.4 for multi-vessel disease which was statistically significant. History of diabetes was not found to be a significant confounder, effect modifier, or mediator of the relationship between the TID and the vessel disease.
Conclusion: The mean TID ratio in patients with multi-vessel disease was 1.19. The threshold for an abnormal TID was 1.39 with specificity of 95% and sensitivity of 15% for determining multi-vessel CAD status. We conclude that the level of TID in gated SPECT MPI using regadenoson is associated with the degree of CAD on angiography.

Background: Transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a turning point for patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). A gradual coordinated process connecting paediatric and adult healthcare providers may improve adherence to adult follow-up.
Aims: To describe a transition process developed jointly by paediatric and adult diabetology units and compare patients progressing or not to follow-up in adult care setting.

Background: Coronary heart disease the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease, results from the blockage of blood flow through arteries. The Myocardial Perfusion Scan (MPS) is considered a non-invasive method to assess the heart condition and provides valuable information, such as End Diastolic Volume (EDV), End Systolic Volume (ESV), Ejection Fraction (EF), Lung to Heart Ratio (LHR), and Transient Ischemic Dilatation (TID).
Objective: This study aimed to investigate changes in gated heart scan parameters to diagnose patients, who are candidates for heart surgery.

Objective: This study aims to determine whether the concurrent presence of tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) and tubulointerstitial damage (TID) predicts the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).
Methods: Data from 175 LN patients, collected at the time of renal biopsy, were analyzed. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the presence or absence of coexisting TII/TID.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs). Mildly elevated total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels can exert anti-atherosclerotic effects and may regulate inflammation. We explore the relationship between TSB levels, smoking, and inflammation.
