Angina and ischemic electrocardiographic changes occurred after administration of oral dipyridamole in four patients awaiting urgent myocardial revascularization procedures. To our knowledge, this has not previously been reported as a side effect of preoperative dipyridamole therapy, although dipyridamole-induced myocardial ischemia has been demonstrated to occur in animals and humans with coronary artery disease. Epicardial coronary collateral vessels were demonstrated in all four patients; a coronary "steal" phenomenon may be the mechanism of the dipyridamole-induced ischemia observed.

The role of immune system components in the development of myocardial remodeling in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplantation remains an open question. Our aim was to investigate the associations between immune cell subpopulations in the circulation of CKD patients and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with subclinical indices of myocardial performance. We enrolled 44 CKD patients and 38 KTRs without established cardiovascular disease.

Dipyridamole nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging is a safe and useful modality for assessing myocardial ischemia. It is the modality of choice for cardiac risk stratification in patients who are unable to exercise. Intravenous dipyridamole causes coronary vasodilation and may result in heterogeneity of coronary blood flow in significant coronary artery disease.

Aim: To investigate abnormalities in myocardial strain and classic echocardiographic indices and coronary flow reserve (CFR), in younger versus older CKD patients.
Methods: Sixty consecutive CKD patients (<60 years old n = 30, ≥60 years old n = 30) and 30 healthy controls (age- and gender-matched with younger CKD patients) were recruited. An echocardiographic assessment including myocardial strain indices (i.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic performances of CZT myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) for the detection of territories with simultaneous impaired coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease.
Methods: Patients were prospectively included before being referred for coronary angiography. All patients underwent CZT MPR before invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and coronary physiology assessment.

Background: A significant number of women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD; <50% stenosis) have coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) which carries an adverse cardiovascular prognosis. Coronary microvascular function can be evaluated by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) as a coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) and by static CT myocardial perfusion (CTP) as a myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR). Whether these methods are correlated is not known.
