Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion and Left Ventricular Function in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Implications for Gated Myocardial Perfusion SPECT

Radionuclide imaging in risk assessment after acute coronary syndromes

“…37 In the contemporary practice of radionuclide imaging, referral for stress perfusion imaging will almost always result in the provision of simultaneously derived information on LV function, using the now widely available gated SPECT techniques. 38 This information will more fully inform the decision process than information on perfusion alone.…”
