To determine the prognostic value of a new, ultrafast, low dose myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) protocol in a cadmium-zinc telluride (CZT) camera. CZT cameras have introduced significant progress in MPS imaging, offering high-quality images despite lower doses and scan time. Yet, it is unknown if, with such protocol changes, the prognostic value of MPS is preserved. Patients had a 1-day 99 m-Tc-sestamibi protocol, starting with the rest (185-222 MBq) followed by stress (666-740 MBq). Acquisition times were 6 and 3 min, respectively. MPS were classified as normal or abnormal perfusion scans and summed scores of stress, rest, and difference (SSS, SRS and SDS), calculated. Patients were followed with 6-month phone calls. Hard events were defined as death or nonfatal myocardial infarction. Late revascularization was that occurring after 60 days of MPS. 2930 patients (age 64.0 ± 12.1 years, 53.3% male) were followed for 30.7 ± 7.5 months. Mean dosimetry was 6 mSv and mean total study time, 48 ± 13 min. The annual hard event and late revascularization rate were higher in patients with greater extension of defect and ischemia. SSS was higher in patients with hard events compared to those without events (2.6 ± 4.9 vs. 5.0 ± 6.3, p < 0.001), as well as the SDS (0.7 ± 1.9 vs. 1.7 ± 3.4, p < 0.00). The same was true for patients with or without late revascularization (SSS: 2.5 ± 4.7 vs. 6.6 ± 7.1; SDS: 0.6 ± 1.7 vs. 2.9 ± 3.8, p < 0.01). A new, faster, low-radiation, MPS protocol in a CZT camera maintain the ability to stratify patients with increased risk of events, showing that, in the presence of greater extension of defect or ischemia, patients presented higher rates of hard events and late revascularization.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
