Gated SPECT Perfusion in Diagnosis and Risk Assessment in Stable Patients

The chapter reviews the current evidence with regards to the diagnosis and prognosis of stress myocardial perfusion SPECT. Where relevant, we will also include selected series of patients undergoing stress myocardial perfusion PET. Readers of this chapter are also encouraged to examine recently published reviews on this subject. Additionally, there have been several recent expert consensus statements, clinical practice guidelines, and appropriate use criteria publications from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA).
