Excerpt

The assessment of myocardial ischaemia in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) being considered for myocardial revascularization procedures is of paramount importance. The detection of a large area of myocardial ischaemia by functional imaging is associated with impaired prognosis of patients and identifies patients who should undergo revascularization [1]. Non-invasive functional evaluation of myocardial ischaemia should be the first approach and can be achieved with a variety of techniques. …
