Description

Myocardial perfusion and ischemia scores obtained from myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) have strong independent prognostic value in elderly individuals without known coronary artery disease (CAD). Herein we aimed to assess their independent diagnostic value and accuracy for CAD while considering different thresholds of myocardial ischemia.
