Despite a growing number of alternative imaging techniques, MPS still remains the most widely used technique, with a wealth of literature supporting its usefulness in assessing IHD and predicting prognosis. The technique itself has evolved, making it more reliable and robust, with additional ventricular functional information that further defines the prognosis […]
