TLDR
Extent and severity of myocardial hypoperfusion are important independent variables of prognosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease and a prognostic model was defined that employs extent and severity as stress-dependent orthogonal variables.About:

TL;DR: The Clinical Efficacy Assessment Subcommittee of the American College of Physicians–American Society of Internal Medicine acknowledges the scientific validity of this product as a background paper and as a review that captures the levels of evidence in the management of patients with chronic stable angina as of November 17, 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical implications of endothelial dysfunction.
TL;DR: This work suggests that studies of endothelial function could be used in the care of patients and as a surrogate marker for the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies, and a growing number of interventions known to reduce cardiovascular risk have been shown to improve endothelialfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the Short-Term Survival Benefit Associated With Revascularization Compared With Medical Therapy in Patients With No Prior Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Stress Myocardial Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
TL;DR: Revascularization compared with MT had greater survival benefit (absolute and relative) in patients with moderate to large amounts of inducible ischemia, and increasing survival benefit for revascularization over MT was noted in higher risk patients (elderly, adenosine stress, and women, especially those with diabetes).

Incremental Prognostic Value of Myocardial Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography for the Prediction of Cardiac Death Differential Stratification for Risk of Cardiac Death and Myocardial Infarction
Rory Hachamovitch,Daniel S. Berman,Leslee J. Shaw,Hosen Kiat,Hosen Kiat,Ishac Cohen,J.Arthur Cabico,John Friedman,George A. Diamond +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with mildly abnormal scans after exercise stress are at low risk for cardiac death but intermediate risk for nonfatal myocardial infarction and thus may benefit from a noninvasive strategy and may not require invasive management.

Prediction of cardiac events after uncomplicated myocardial infarction: a prospective study comparing predischarge exercise thallium-201 scintigraphy and coronary angiography.
Robert S. Gibson,Denny D. Watson,G B Craddock,Richard S. Crampton,D L Kaiser,M J Denny,George A. Beller +6 more
TL;DR: Submaximal exercise 200T1 scintigraphy can distinguish high- and low-risk groups after uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction before hospital discharge and 201T1 defects in more than one discrete vascular region, presence of delayed redistribution, or increased lung thallium uptake are more sensitive predictors of subsequent cardiac events than ST segment depression, angina, or extent of angiographic disease.

TL;DR: The exercise test is a nonin invasive, reproducible method to assess the presence and extent of anatomic disease and the prognosis when significant disease has been defined and should be used in conjunction with other noninvasive tests to determine optimal management in patients evaluated for ischemic heart disease.

Quantification of Rotational Thallium-201 Myocardial Tomography

TL;DR: The method uses maximal-count circumferential profiles of well-defined long- and short-axis tomograms to determine the 3-dimensional distribution of Tl-201; it then maps this distribution onto a 2-dimensional polar representation, which expresses the degree of abnormality.
