| Abstract |
Transient ischemic dilation (TID) is a marker of severe coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to assess the incremental value of TID in a cohort of patients with known significant CAD who had recurrence of symptoms after revascularization. We identified in our databases 104 patients who had recent coronary revascularization and recurrence of symptoms. 62 patients had PCI (75 arteries) and 42 patients had CABG (104 arteries). All had follow-up stress SPECT MPI and repeat coronary angiography. Myocardial perfusion findings of ischemia and TID were correlated with presence of significant obstructive CAD (>70% stenosis). Follow-up stress Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT MPI revealed inducible ischemia in 38 patients (36.5%) and TID > 1.20 in 49 patients (47%). Subsequent coronary angiography showed significant obstructive CAD in 44 patients (42%). The sensitivity for detecting obstructive CAD was 61% for SPECT MPI alone, but increased significantly to 93% by the addition of TID as a diagnostic criterion (P < 0.0001). In this selected patient cohort with prior coronary revascularization, TID is an important marker of obstructive CAD and has incremental value over SPECT MPI alone. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 November 2019.
All research outputs
#15,755,393
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#1,043
of 2,045 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#189,456
of 329,465 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#19
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,045 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,465 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
