Does cardiac I-123 MIBG imaging predict sudden death in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic heart failure?
Cardiac I-123 MIBG imaging, specifically abnormal washout rate and heart-to-mediastinum ratio, is a significant predictor of sudden death in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic heart failure.

May support sudden death risk stratification with MIBG in mild-moderate HF; leaves open need for prospective validation.
