Overview

May support Japanese-specific databases for SPECT in Japanese patients; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Japanese subjects with a low likelihood of cardiac diseases (n=326 for the perfusion database) from multiple institutions.
O
Outcome
Normal values for myocardial SPECT and ventricular functionsurrogate

Population-specific normal databases for nuclear cardiology are essential for accurate diagnostic and prognostic evaluation in Japanese patients.

Limitations

  • limited number of normal patients to make age-specific standards
