Graphical abstract
Figure 1
Figure 1
Two-dimensional TTE, parasternal long-axis view in systole without (A, left) and diastole with (B, right) color-flow Doppler, demonstrates a moderately dilated neoaortic root (4.0 cm, Z score +5.5) with mild aortic regurgitation.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Two-dimensional TTE, apical 4-chamber view in diastole (A) and systole (B) and parasternal short-axis view in diastole (C) and systole (D), demonstrates a moderately dilated LV diameter (6.2 cm, Z score 4.8) and volume (LVEDV 213.6 mL, Z score +4.9). LA, Left atrium; RA, right atrium.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Cardiac computed tomography, curved multiplanar reformatted orthogonal images of the RCA (A) and the LAD (B), demonstrates 2 focal severe RCA aneurysms (arrows) with associated calcification and a long-segment, moderate aneurysm in the proximal LAD (arrow). The three-dimensional volume-rendered reconstruction display (C) demonstrates the dilated neoaortic root and the CAA.
Figure 4
Figure 4
Gated myocardial SPECT perfusion imaging at rest (top row) and following exercise stress in the supine (row 2) and prone (row 3) positions with short axis (SA), horizontal long-axis (HLA), and vertical long-axis (VLA) displays demonstrates a reversible perfusion abnormality in the anterior, basal, midanteroseptal, and apical segments without resolution in prone positioning.
Figure 5
Figure 5
(A) Stress and rest Rb-82 PET-CT imaging with attenuation correction in the SA (top rows), HLA (middle), and VLA (bottom) displays with bull’s-eye polar maps demonstrates the small-sized, basal anterior, and anterolateral defect on rest that improves with stress. (B) Dynamic imaging at stress (S) and rest (R) demonstrates normal global and regional myocardial blood flow reserve with no evidence of ischemia.
