Excerpt

For decades, cardiac imaging underwent constant evolution and was the driving force of the development of new technologies and new technical approaches for the assessment and quantification of ischemia. A massive burden of literature has been produced using inducible ischemia as the imaging/clinical endpoint for revascularization and clinical choices. The knowledge at some point became habit and determined somehow a “tunnel-vision” approach toward the search for a stenosis to revascularize, often, no matter what. …
