Research topics from publications: Prognostic Value of Resting Left Ventricular Sphericity Indexes in Coronary Artery Disease With Preserved Ejection Fraction. Representative work: Background Adverse left ventricular remodeling is a significant cardiovascular predictor for patients with coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the remodeling indexes reflecting left ventricular spherization by myocardial perfusion imaging are underexplored. Methods and Results 727 patients (mean age 59.8±13.5 years, 329 women) diagnosed or suspected coronary artery disease with preserved LVEF who underwent resting myocardial perfusion imaging were retrospectively enrolled. The myocardial perfusion imaging findings including the total perfusion deficit and sphericity indexes (shape index (SI) and eccentricity index (EI) obtained from gated
