Does variation in heart rate influence the assessment of transient ischemic dilation in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy?
Normal variation in heart rate between the stress and rest components of myocardial perfusion scans is common and can influence TID ratios in patients with normal and abnormal cardiac scans.
Whole-body insulin resistance is associated with an elevated serum AFP level in patients with CHC. Lifestyle interventions targeting insulin resistance can reduce the serum AFP level and may ameliorate the clinical course of CHC.
