Measurement of Ventricular Stunning Using Gated SPECT

This study gated the rest and post-stress myocardial perfusion scans in patients with angina and/or previous myocardial infarction. The researchers found that there was a significant decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction after stress in patients with angina and/or previous myocardial infarction. In the control patients, no such decline occurred. COMMENT: this study highlights the usefulness of gating both stress and rest studies.
