Horend bij het proefschrift:
Myocardial Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the
characterization of Chronic Coronary Syndromes
1
Smoking causes (sub-)clinical alterations in cardiac structure and function, which can be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. (Chapter 2, this thesis)
2
Myocardial T1-reactivity is an excellent indicator of stress-adequacy during stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. (Chapter 5, this thesis)
3
Stress perfusion MR is able to assess myocardial ischemia at high diagnostic accuracy. (Chapter 6, this thesis)
4
Post gadolinium T1-mapping can accurately assess myocardial fibrosis in patients with previous myocardial infarction. (Chapter 8, this thesis)
5
Caffeine ingestion prior to vasodilator cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging has a significant effect on adenosine induced hyperemia, however this effect is less
when using regadenoson. (Chapter 5, this thesis) 6
There is extensive inter-study heterogeneity for assessment of cardiac perfusion with CMR. (Chapter 6, this thesis)
7
Non-invasive imaging techniques will replace a substantial proportion of the current diagnostic invasive coronary angiography procedures.
8
Artificial intelligence will significantly influence the practice of medicine and the delivery of healthcare in the near future. (Mesko et al. npj Digital Medicine, 2020)
