Background. Patients with peripheral vascular disease are at increased risk for perioperative and long-term cardiac morbidity and mortality. Substantial data exist supporting the use of preoperative clinical risk stratification and planar thallium myocardial scintigraphy. Only limited data are avail
## Background: Dipyridamole thallium scintigraphy has previously been shown to have predictive value for both perioperative and late cardiac events in patients undergoing vascular surgery. however, despite the prognostic utility of this technique, the relative importance of clinical factors and sci
