Why the study?
Does combining regional wall motion analysis with myocardial perfusion SPECT immediately after exercise improve diagnostic sensitivity for mild, single-vessel CAD compared to myocardial perfusion alone?
Does combining regional wall motion analysis with myocardial perfusion SPECT immediately after exercise improve diagnostic sensitivity for mild, single-vessel CAD compared to myocardial perfusion alone?
Adding regional wall motion analysis immediately after exercise to myocardial perfusion SPECT significantly improves the diagnostic sensitivity for detecting mild, single-vessel coronary artery disease.
