Objectives : We sought to evaluate whether infarct size characterization by cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is a better predictor of inducible ventricular tachycardia (VT) than …

Background— In some patients with heart failure, β-blockers can improve left ventricular (LV)
function and reduce morbidity and mortality. We hypothesized that gadolinium-enhanced …

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pacemaker patients is contraindicated
due to documented potential risks to the patient from hazardous interactions between the …

A previous study viewed brand equity as a price premium measured by the increment that a
brandname contributes to the price of a product when controlling for its quality (as …

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pacemakers is a relative contraindication
because of the risks to the patient from potentially hazardous interactions between the …

In this book, David Bello offers a new and radical interpretation of how China's last dynasty,
the Qing (1644–1911), relied on the interrelationship between ecology and ethnicity to …

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can accurately determine infarct
size. Prior studies using indirect methods and CMR to assess infarct size have shown that …

Back side illumination has become standard image sensor technology owing to its superior
quantum efficiency and fill factor. A direct comparison of front and back side illumination (FSI …

Material classification is an important application in computer vision. The inherent property
of materials to partially polarize the reflected light can serve as a tool to classify them. In this …

Objectives : This study examined the outcomes of new-onset heart failure (HF) outpatients
managed by cardiologists and primary care (PC) physicians. Background : Several studies …
