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 ability of stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging to predict adverse cardiac events is well accepted. as left ventricular systolic function has also been shown to be an important prognostic indicator, the objective of this study was to determine whether electrocardiogra
Background. In patients with ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, myocardial perfusion imaging after nitrate administration may improve the identification of dysfunctional but viable myocardium. This study was designed to assess the relationship between tetrofosmin uptake after nitrate admini
## 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. The aim of this study is to assess the prognostic value of pharmacologic stress (adenosine or dipyridamole) myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with permanent electronic ventricular pacemakers. Methods and Results. Between October 1986 and December 1995, 93 patients with pacemakers
