Investigators: P Raggi, A Tannenbaum, A Szymczak, A Yezzi, G Unal, AE Stillman
Significance: Novel approaches of image processing of coronary CTA are being developed to better assess the burden of coronary atherosclerosis and to characterize plaque.
Measurement of aortic compliance of the aorta following treatment with valsartan
Investigators: J Oshinski, A Quyyumi, AE Stillman
Significance: MRI pulse wave velocity is being used to assess treatment effects of valsartan on aortic compliance.
Assessment of dyssynchrony in heart failure
Investigators: J Oshinski, S Lerakis, J Butler, T Faber, AE Stillman
Significance. MRI and CT are being used to assess ventricular dyssynchrony in heart failure patients to better predict who may benefit from biventricular pacing.
