Rates of Referral to Coronary Angiography After Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)
Conclusions: About 1 in 5 patients undergoing PET MPI are referred for coronary angiography within 90 days of testing, a rate greater than that reported for SPECT MPI, likely due to higher baseline risk of patients undergoing PET MPI testing. While referral rates for coronary angiography varied based on the presence or absence of prior documented clinical CAD and presence of test abnormalities, nearly 36% of patients with moderate-severe ischemia were not referred. Further work is needed to characterize why such patients are not referred for invasive evaluation to optimize the use of PET MPI in this high-risk population.
