Stress-rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and adverse cardiac events in heart failure patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Information on myocardial perfusion, functional capacity and intraventricular synchrony obtained from stress-rest gated SPECT may help identify patients with symptomatic heart failure who are likely to develop adverse cardiac events, enabling better management of higher-risk cases and improved allocation of resources.
