## 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: We sought to determine whether a dual-isotope imaging strategy (rest thallium 201/stress technetium 99m sestamibi) might be useful for assessing myocardial viability and residual ischemia in the infarct zone very early after reperfusion. ## Methods and results: Fifteen open-chest d
