Nuclear cardiology in the evaluation of therapy and ventricular function in ischemic heart disease
Heart Lung.
1976 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
The advent of nuclear cardiology has resulted in a veritable explosion of new techniques for evaluating coronary artery disease. Most of these new techniques for detecting myocardial performance, myocardial perfusion patterns, shunt detection, and infarct detection can be done in sequential noninvasive fashion so that patient may be selected earlier in their disease when the benefits of surgical and medical therapy may be restorative rather than reparative. It is hoped this new medical technology will satisfy the desire of Mackenzie for "comparative evaluation of medical remedies and different modes of treatment of disease by the lynx-eyed scrutiny of dispassionate analysis."
