Abstract: BackgroundVasodilator-induced transient left ventricular cavity dilation (LVCD) by positron emission tomography (PET) is associated with microvascular dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Here we assessed whether HCM patients who develop LVCD by PET during vasodilator stress… read more here.

Abstract: Background Left ventricular contraction dyssynchrony (LVCD) has been related to induced ischemia and transmural scar but the interplay of myocardial viability and dyssynchrony is unknown. The aim of the present study was to establish the… read more here.
