Background. Positron emission tomography (PET) flow/metabolic mismatch is considered the nuclear medicine gold standard for the assessment of myocardial viability. The aim of this study was to investigate whether baseline/nitrate technetium 99m tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography
