Abstract
Approximately, 10 million stress myocardial perfusion images (MPI) are performed each year in the Unites States for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and risk assessment. Pharmacologic stress accounts for nearly 40% of these studies, and adenosine is the most widely used stress agent at present. The relative role of adenosine versus the newer and as of yet unapproved selective A-2 agonist is currently under intense study. The purpose of this review is to critically assess the role and utility of combined exercise and adenosine, so called hybrid stress testing (HST). The discussion will focus on adenosine, because HST of other combinations is well accepted such as dobutamine plus atropine and exercise combined with dipyridamole.

Chronic Disease Self-Management for Heart Failure – A Mini review into Performance Gaps
Chronic disease self-management (CDSM)is a vital component of chronic disease management. There remain several important deficits in this concept. Its benefit are clear, many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, rheumatology syndromes have shown benefit in quality of life and quantitative measures of outcomes. Yet, in congestive heart failure ...read more
The era of cardiac medication and implantable devices therapy in heart failure treatment continues
The heart failure (HF) remains a serious public health problem and affects 64 million people worldwide. Although advances in medical therapy and device assistance have significantly improved the HF outcomes, implications of HF are still dramatic. In recent years, innovative developments have been made in the HF treatment management, based ...read more
