Abstract:Low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic coronary disease (CAD), but its association with ischemia is unknown. Relationship between DBP and the myocardial ischemia in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) was investigated. Methods: Patients with chronic coronary artery disease who underwent MPS were included. One day stress/rest gated MPI with Tc-99m MIBI protocol was applied to all patients. Blood pressures was measured before MPI. Patien… Show more
