Cardiopoietic cell therapy for advanced ischemic heart failure: results at 39 weeks of the prospective, randomized, double blind, sham-controlled CHART-1 clinical trial
Cardiopoietic cells, produced through cardiogenic conditioning of patients' mesenchymal stem cells, have shown preliminary efficacy. The Congestive Heart Failure Cardiopoietic Regenerative Therapy (CHART-1) trial aimed to validate cardiopoiesis-based biotherapy in a larger heart failure cohort
Incremental Value of Adenosine-induced Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with Dual-Source CT at Cardiac CT Angiography1
A combined dual-source CT protocol for assessment of myocardial perfusion and
coronary anatomy is feasible, with acceptable contrast material and radiation
doses; moreover, the addition of myocardial stress perfusion CT improves the
diagnostic accuracy of cardiac CT angiography and enables simultaneous
assessment of anatomy and perfusion in a single examination
