Value of metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography for evaluating prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction have a high but variable annual mortality and some may benefit from myocardial revascularization. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of positron emission tomography (PET), and its interrelation with the choice of medical therapy or revascularization for predicting survival and improvement… Continue reading Value of metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography for evaluating prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction
