Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography in the Prediction of Left Ventricular Dysfunction Reversibility in Patients With Chronic Totally Occluded Coronary Arteries

Abstract

F-FDG only is less effective in the prediction of the LV dysfunction reversibility, but can still detect the presence of viable cardiomyocytes in the severely affected myocardial segments. Russ J Cardiol 2014, 2 (106): 72-78
