Myocardial Perfusion Assessment With Multidetector Computed Tomography

Tennessee Heart and Vascular Institute, P.C.100 enrolled

Overview

Demonstrate the ability of muti-detector computed tomography to adequately perform stress testing will result in a veritable "one-stop shop" of non-invasive cardiac imaging that is, the ability to directly visualize heart arteries with high accuracy and to simultaniously determine the hemodynamic significance of any blockages visualized.
