The regional functional index calculated by electrocardiogram-gated SPECT indicated that wall thickening was well correlated with functional recovery compared with wall motion or perfusion uptake. This suggests that the wall thickening calculated by electrocardiogram-gated SPECT may be more useful to predict functional recovery than regional myocardial perfusion. Or, it could suggest that in addition to perfusion uptake, wall thickening could enhance the objective assessment of myocardial viability.
