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
## Background: Although iodine 123 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(r , s) methylpentadecanoic acid (bmipp) can assess abnormal utilization of fatty acid in the diseased myocardium, the prognostic value of bmipp imaging at rest in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (cad) remains unclear.
The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical usefulness of phase and amplitude images and of the left ventricle time-activity curve (LVTAC) obtained by equilibrium gated radionuclide ventriculography (EGRV) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Fifty-six patients were studied w
