Prevalence and Predictors of Ischemia and Outcomes in Nondiabetic Patients Referred for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

We sought to estimate the prevalence and predictors of 
significant scintigraphic evidence of ischemia and 
subsequent cardiac events over 12 months of follow up in 
a cohort of consecutive 250 stable non diabetic 
outpatients referred for single photon emission computed 
tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT MPI) 
over a period of 6 months in Alexandria Main University 
Hospital Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory.
