Prognostic value of simultaneous perfusion and function assessment using technetium-99m sestamibi

Am J Cardiol. 1996 Sep 1;78(5):562-4. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(96)00366-9.

Abstract

This study examines the prognostic value of simultaneous perfusion and function assessment in 412 patients. The exercise perfusion pattern was a stronger predictor of events (mostly acute nonfatal myocardial infarcts) than resting ejection fraction.
