Myocardial perfusion imaging in the era of COVID-19: a systematic review

ConclusionWe observed through the article review that CT scans performed in combination with MPI are crucial and should be interpreted within the context of COVID, especially during outbreaks. Moreover, we discovered that in the initial months of the pandemic, the number of SPECT MPIs performed globally decreased, with the fall being more significant in some countries, primarily in low- to middle-income regions. Lastly, we found that individuals with a history of COVID-19 may be more prone to having MPIs that demonstrate abnormalities, such as ischemia.Graphical abstract
