## Background. There have been limited data regarding the value of gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the detection of left main coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results. We studied 101 patients with angiographic left main CAD

## Abstract Patients with intractable angina pectoris due to endβstage coronary artery disease who are not amenable to conventional revascularization provide a therapeutic challenge. We describe the first published case of a young patient with intractable coronary artery disease that was successful
## Background: We sought to assess prospectively the evidence for silent coronary artery disease (cad) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by stress single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) myocardial perfusion imaging, coronary artery calcium (cac) scoring, and multisl
## Background: This study determines the value of gated single photon emission computed tomography (spect) imaging soon after exercise to identify patients with single-vessel disease and exercise-induced prolonged myocardial dysfunction (ie, postischemic stunning). ## Methods and results: We exam
