Using a fast version of selective inversion recovery, we have obtained coronary angiograms of normal volunteers showing the proximal portions of the left coronary artery. Blood is tagged in the aortic root at end systole using a 2D inversion pulse. After a wash‐in time of 300–600 ms, the...
Fig. 4. A, Coronary angiograms from a patient with chronic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (top) during recanalization, immediately after successful recanalization and at 4-month follow-up angiography (bottom).

Bypass surgery is also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, pronounced "cabbage"), coronary artery bypass surgery, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.It’s the most common type of open heart surgery in the U.S., with nearly 400,000 procedures done every year. Most people ha...
After the surgery, ACL surgery rehab is also required. ACL surgery recovery rates are quite good with the combination of rehab and surgery. The rehab program spans over 10 weeks or more of slowly reintegrating the knee to do more intensive tasks at each step until complete mobility is ...
Long-term survival and functional recovery after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2007;55:403 -408.Fukui T, Shibata T, Sasaki Y, Hirai H, Motoki M, Takahashi Y, Nakahira A, Suehiro S. Long-term survival ...
Methods For six years we followed 2,935 consecutive patients who underwent symptom-limited exercise testing for suspected CAD and then had a coronary angiogram within 90 days. The HRR was abnormal if 鈮 12 beats/min during the first minute after exercise, except among patients undergoing stress ...
Patients had radionuclide angiograms at baseline and three months post-revascularization. Diabetes (p = 0.029), time to operation (p = 0.008), and scar score (p = 0.001) were significant independent predictors of the change in EF. Previous coronary artery bypass graft confounded the effect of ...
All patients had electrocardiograms recorded at presentation and 90 minutes and a coronary angiogram 90 minutes after fibrinolysis. Results Infarction artery patency was assessed in 238 patients with 4 different ST resolution criteria: single lead ST resolution ≥50% and ≥70% and sum ST resolution ...
Left ventricular ejection fraction, regional segmental shortening of the postischemic area and tissue content of high energy phosphates recovered to a similar extent and at a similar rate in both treated and placebo groups up to 1 week after reperfusion. Thus, in this model of coronary occlusion ...
