## Background: We have previously shown in retrospective studies that adenosine myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) done after acute myocardial infarction (ami) can effectively predict the risk of future cardiac events in these patients. the objective of this study was to validate these observations
In a clinical study, the value of thallium-201 reinjection was studied in 139 patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease who showed one or more persistent defects after conventional stress-redistribution imaging. Fifty-nine (42%) patients had sustained a Qwave myocardial infarction. Si
