## Background: Our objective was to assess the prognostic value of the scintigraphic extent of coronary artery disease on stress technetium 99m tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography in patients with previous myocardial infarction. ## Methods and results: We studied 383 patients (
## Background: We sought to determine whether a dual-isotope imaging strategy (rest thallium 201/stress technetium 99m sestamibi) might be useful for assessing myocardial viability and residual ischemia in the infarct zone very early after reperfusion. ## Methods and results: Fifteen open-chest d
