Non-invasive quantification of coronary (myocardial) flow reserve
We are using three non-invasive techniques to quantify coronary\r\n (myocardial) flow reserve in hypertensive patients, patients with diabetes\r\n and in women with chest pain syndromes. In addition to studying\r\n myocardial flow reserve in these patients, we are comparing two new\r\n techniques (split-dose Tl-201 myocardial SPECT imaging and contrast\r\n echocardiography to the gold standard non-invasive method, PET Rb-82\r\n flow imaging.Publications

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr.Diamond is not currently required to report Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website at http://icahn.mssm.edu/about-us/services-and-resources/faculty-resources/handbooks-and-policies/faculty-handbook. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
