- Abstract
Accordingly, Miller et al.[20] found that patients with normal results at CZT imaging showed lower probability of events in their follow-up as compared to traditional camera showing the higher prognostic value of a negative MPI by CZT imaging. See related article, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12350-020-02128-x Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) represents the most common used noninvasive diagnostic procedure in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). However, patients imaged with a CZT camera compared to those undergoing A-camera imaging were less likely to experience all-cause mortality in patients with normal results and in each category of perfusion abnormality. In the propensity score analysis, authors showed that only patients with normal stress perfusion by CZT camera system were less likely to die during the follow-up compared to patients with normal perfusion by anger system.
