## Background Accurate non-invasive risk stratification may management and impact survival of CAD patients. Stress perfusion CMR reliably assesses ventricular function, viability and myocardial ischemia in a single examination. While prognostic information may be derived from individual components
Background. Limited data are available on the value of quantitative stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with unstable angina. In this report we sought to study the long-term prognostic value of quantitative stress MPI in patients hospitalized with unstable angina with no new ischem
## Background Progressive left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction due to hypertension (HTN) alters left atrial (LA) contractile function in a predictable manner. While increased LA size is a marker of LV diastolic dysfunction and has been shown to be predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcome
