Narula J, Acio E, Narula N, Samuels L, Fyfe B, Wood D, et al.
Nat Med . 2001 Dec; 7(12):1347-52. PMID: 11726976
Heart transplant rejection is characterized pathologically by myocyte necrosis and apoptosis associated with interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration. Any one of these components can be targeted for noninvasive detection of transplant...

Emlein G, Villegas B, Dahlberg S, Leppo J
Am Heart J . 1996 May; 131(5):907-14. PMID: 8615309
We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) cavity size measured on dipyridamole thallium scintigraphy identifies patients at risk for late nonfatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. Accordingly, we retrospectively evaluated the...

Lette J, Tatum J, Fraser S, Miller D, Waters D, Heller G, et al.
J Nucl Cardiol . 1995 Jan; 2(1):3-17. PMID: 9420757
Background: Dipyridamole imaging is widely used as an alternative to exercise testing to identify and risk stratify patients with coronary artery disease. Safety data on intravenous dipyridamole stress testing has...

Walsh E, Minematsu K, Leppo J, Moore S
Magn Reson Med . 1994 Feb; 31(2):147-53. PMID: 8133750
Detre et al. (Magn. Reson. Med. 23, 37-45 (1992)) and Zhang et al., (Magn. Reson. Med. 25, 362 (1992)) have recently demonstrated a technique for the measurement of regional cerebral...

Hendel R, Cohn S, Aurigemma G, Whitfield S, Dahlberg S, Pape L, et al.
Am Heart J . 1992 May; 123(5):1208-15. PMID: 1575135
The diagnosis of myocardial contusion is often difficult, as traditional methods such as serial electrocardiograms, cardiac enzyme (creatine kinase [CK-MB]) analysis, and echocardiography lack sensitivity and specificity. Recent reports have...

Whitfield S, Aurigemma G, Pape L, Leppo J
Am Heart J . 1991 May; 121(5):1367-73. PMID: 2017969
To determine how frequently new wall-motion abnormalities that are indicative of ischemia accompany thallium redistribution, 47 consecutive patients underwent two-dimensional echocardiography during routine dipyridamole-thallium stress testing. A secondary aim of...

Chipkin S, Gottlieb P, Lundstrom R, Leppo J, Aronin N
Cardiology . 1991 Jan; 79(3):172-9. PMID: 1769034
To determine whether diabetic patients without known cardiovascular disease have exercise-induced perfusion abnormalities without symptoms, we performed thallium-201 exercise tolerance testing (ETT) on 16 subjects with diabetes mellitus (8 men...

Rothendler J, Schick E, Leppo J, Birmingham M, Green A, Ryan T
J Nucl Med . 1987 Sep; 28(9):1419-23. PMID: 3040929
Gated blood-pool scintigraphy (GBPS) is often obtained as the initial test to evaluate symptoms suggestive of left ventricular dysfunction. Since large pericardial effusions may also cause such symptoms, the ability...

J Am Coll Cardiol . 1987 Feb; 9(2):269-76. PMID: 3805515
The prognostic utility for predicting cardiac events was determined for dipyridamole-thallium scintigraphy, exercise stress testing (when possible; n = 69) and multiple clinical variables in 100 consecutive patients admitted for...
