BMIPP defect score may aid risk stratification in nonischemic HFpEF; leaves open incremental value over standard models.
Does a high 123I-BMIPP SPECT defect score predict major adverse cardiac events in patients with nonischemic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
A high 123I-BMIPP SPECT defect score is a strong independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events in patients with nonischemic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
