With the progression of CT technology, CT coronary angiography (CTCA) is frequently used as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for CHD. But the high radiation doses prohibit the use of this test as a screening tool for asymptomatic patients. Cardiac ultrasound technology has developed quickly. We have some new methods such as Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography. Do you think Cardiac ultrasound technology will become a main tool to screen CHD in the future?
随着冠状动脉CT技术的发展,它的应用已经非常广泛,然而大剂量的辐射限制了它作为冠心病筛查的常规手段。心脏超声技术近年发展迅速,出现了心肌造影超声心动图等新的检测技术,您认为超声技术在未来有可能成为冠心病筛查的重要手段吗?

A recent trial have demonstrated that for infarct size by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging Is a Stronger Predictor for STEMI than EF and ESVI. How do you evaluate this tool used in CHD?
一项最近的研究显示对于STEMI患者,利用心脏磁共振成像测量的梗死面积是优于EF或ESVI的预测因子。关于这项技术在冠心病领域的应用,您有什么样的看法呢?
You have published some articles about mitral regurgitation. Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is a frequent complication of systolic heart failure. What is the most effective tool to make a diagnosis of functional MR? and what is the clinical significance of functional MR in HF patients?
您已经发表了多篇关于二尖瓣返流的文章,功能性二尖瓣返流在心衰患者中很常见。功能性二尖瓣返流最有效的诊断手段是什么?心衰患者功能性二尖瓣返流有什么临床意义?
