99mTc-sestamibi uptake in rat skeletal muscle and heart: Physiological determinants and correlations

Arsos, G.; Kyparos, A.; Moralidis, E.; Kyparos, D.; Georga, S.; Sotiriadou, S.; Matziari, C.; Karakatsanis, C. (2009)

The lipophilic cationic radiotracer 99mTc-sestamibi, known to be concentrated within mitochondria, is widely used for myocardial perfusion and to a lesser extent for muscle metabolism imaging. However, the exact distribution ...

Automated Analysis vs. Expert Reading in Nuclear Cardiology: Correlations with the Angiographic Score

Angelidis G., Valotassiou V., Tsougos I., Tzavara C., Psimadas D., Theodorou E., Ziaka A., Giannakou S., Ziangas C., Skoularigis J., Triposkiadis F., Georgoulias P. (2022)

Background and Objectives: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has an important role in the non-invasive investigation of coronary artery disease. The interpretation of MPI studies is mainly based on the visual evaluation ...

Impact of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion: Correlations with myocardial single photon emission computed tomography-derived parameters

Angelidis G., Samara M., Papathanassiou M., Satra M., Valotassiou V., Tsougos I., Psimadas D., Tzavara C., Alexiou S., Koutsikos J., Demakopoulos N., Giamouzis G., Triposkiadis F., Skoularigis J., Kollia P., Georgoulias P. (2019)

Background: Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) has an important role in atherosclerosis. We investigated the effects of six RAAS gene polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion. Methods and Results: We examined 810 ...

Investigating the genetic characteristics of CAD: Is there a role for myocardial perfusion imaging techniques?

Angelidis G., Valotassiou V., Satra M., Psimadas D., Koutsikos J., Skoularigis J., Kollia P., Georgoulias P. (2022)

Several environmental and genetic factors have been found to influence the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although the effects of the environmental hazards on CAD pathophysiology are well ...
