pubmed:abstractText |
Myocardial perfusion is widely used for risk stratification of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent years have seen an increasing demand for screening of such patients. The value of a normal stress thallium-201 scanning is well established. The advent of technetium 99m-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has enhanced the profile of nuclear cardiology even further as a reliable test for screening. However, in spite of previous reports, there is paucity of large-scale data regarding the prognostic value of a normal Tc 99m-sestamibi scanning result.
