Dietary odd-chain saturated fatty acids (OCFAs) are present in trace levels in dairy fat and some fish and plants. Higher circulating concentrations of OCFAs, pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (C17:0), are associated with lower risks of cardiometabolic diseases, and

We investigated simultaneously the correlations between dobutamine-induced contractile reserve (CC), thallium-201 reverse redistribution (RR) and a mismatch between perfusion and metabolism (MM) to the magnitude of functional recovery. In 32 patients with coronary angioplasty early after infarction, echocardiography was performed

Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDE) has become a useful and safe method for identifying hibernating or stunned myocardium and for predicting improvement in wall motion after coronary revascularization. In the present study, fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), rest-redistribution thallium-201

It is unclear whether 123I-labelled beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) myocardial scintigraphy adds further predictive value for future cardiac events compared with the variables obtained during cardiac catheterisation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary

(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) is assumed to be the most useful method of evaluating the viability of the myocardium, but its use is limited by the need for a cyclotron. In the present study, the ability of a combination
