Excerpt

In this issue, Elgendy et al discuss their findings from a meta-analysis of 22 studies that examined the clinical use of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in situations not covered by the appropriate use criteria (AUC) put forth by the American College of Cardiology (ACC). In particular, the authors were interested in whether the inappropriate use of MPI resulted in different detection rates of cardiac ischemia or other abnormal findings compared to MPI used according to AUC.1 …
