Title: Prognostic value of radionuclide exercise testing after myocardial infarction

Journal Article · · Cardiol. Clin.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6107548

Abnormal systolic ventricular function and persistent ischemia are sensitive indicators of poor prognosis following myocardial infarction. The use of exercise improves the utility of both radionuclide ventriculography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in the identification of postinfarction patients at high risk of subsequent cardiac events. 51 references.
