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
## Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the value of technetium 99m sestamibi gated single photon emission computed tomography (spect) in predicting the evolution of left ventricular volumes in patients treated successfully in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction (mi). ## Meth
## Background. Preliminary studies indicate that adenosine myocardial perfusion single photon tomography (SPECT) can safely and accurately stratify patients into low and high risk groups early after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results. INSPIRE is a prospective, randomized multic
