Summary: To compare clinical outcomes of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) according to the coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT), invasive and non-invasive coronary physiologic assessment.

Summary: Positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an examination that helps to assess the function and perfusion of the heart. Completion of this examination requires the injection of a small dose of a radiotracer (a radioactive substance). PET MPI is a state-of-the-art non-invasive cardiac imaging tool. The main goal of the PET MPI examination is to assess if one or more of...

Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-sav...
