## Background. There have been limited data regarding the value of gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the detection of left main coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results. We studied 101 patients with angiographic left main CAD

## Background: This study determines the value of gated single photon emission computed tomography (spect) imaging soon after exercise to identify patients with single-vessel disease and exercise-induced prolonged myocardial dysfunction (ie, postischemic stunning). ## Methods and results: We exam
Two essentially different methods for physiological evaluation of coronary artery disease were compared in the setting of angioplasty and related to quantitative coronary angiography. Forty-five patients, referred for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), were examined by digital su
## Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether endothelial dysfunction contributes to abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) observed in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (cad). it is unclear whether reversible mpi defects detected in the absence of obst
