TL;DR: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations in cardiovascular procedure volumes and safety practices resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in LBBB patients without significant coronary stenosis, FDG uptake in the septum changes without a correlating change in perfusion, and this phenomenon must be considered in evaluations of myocardial viability using FDG images.

TL;DR: Patients with left ventricular dysfunction and redistribution on rest thallium imaging, a marker of hibernating myocardium, have a higher mortality rate with medical therapy than do patients with a comparable degree of left vent cardiac dysfunction but with fixed defects only.

TL;DR: Diastolic wall thickness <5 mm on echocardiography was the best simple and single predictor of non-recovery of left ventricular dysfunction and the addition of dobutamine echOCardiography or thallium-201, but not both, was thebest solution for predicting recovery of left Ventricular dysfunction.

TL;DR: The data show a reasonable correlation between MBF and MFR measured by N13NH3-PET and 99mTc-tetrofosmin-CZT SPECT, and AC is recommended when using CZT for measuring MBF.
