JACC: Can SPECT perfusion imaging predict sudden cardiac death?
healthimaging.com — “Among patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 35 percent, the extent of stress myocardial perfusion imaging perfusion defects is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a study published in the July 13 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. However, an accompanying editorial questions whether the study's design is equipped to make this conclusion.” View full resource at healthimaging.com
