What is the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with known or suspected stable angina pectoris?
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a valuable tool for evaluating patients with known or suspected stable angina pectoris. Studies have shown that MPI can provide important prognostic information about patients, including the risk of mortality, major cardiac events, and reversible myocardial dysfunction or remodeling. MPI can also be used to identify reversible myocardial ischemia, which can be used to guide further treatment. Additionally, MPI can be used to stratify risk, identify patients who may benefit from further investigations, and guide decisions regarding revascularization or medical management. MPI has been shown to be a valuable tool in the evaluation and management of patients with known or suspected stable angina pectoris.
