Abstract
Since its introduction in Singapore more than 10 years ago, nuclear cardiology has now become an integral part of comprehensive cardiac workup of patients with a variety of cardiac diseases. We trace its local development from the 1980s to its present-day role in cardiac evaluation, and into the potential future of genetic and molecular cardiology.
