This study examined the prognostic value of single-photon emission computed tomography in angiographically high-risk patients with left main and/or 3-vessel coronary artery disease who were treated medically. Multivariable Cox survival analysis revealed the single-photon emission computed tomography score (based on size of perfusion abnormality, multivessel abnormality, left ventricular dilation, and lung uptake) as the only independent predictor of outcome.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
