“…8, 27 With visual analysis of the LV cavity size in 512 patients during dipyridamole sestamibi SPECT, McClellan et al reported that transient LV dilation was associated with nonfatal MI, and fixed dilation was predictive of cardiac death and hospitalization for heart failure. 28 In contrast to transient ischemic dilation, fixed LV dilation is usually associated with reduced LVEF at rest. 29 Thus, results of McClellan et al are consistent with ours because the LVEF at rest was the best single predictor for cardiac events when severe heart failure was included in the events ( Table 2).…”

“…15- 18 The most widely accepted method at present is the computer-derived automated calculation of LV volume at stress and rest using a standard software package. 7 However, the results reported in several important studies on the diagnostic and prognostic values of the TID ratio were predominantly derived from the separate-acquisition dual isotope, at rest, thallium-201/stress 99 m Tc sestamibi SPECT protocol.…”

“…In particular, McClellan et al 22 reported on 512 consecutive patients (25% with diabetes mellitus) who underwent dipyridamole stress MPS. During a follow-up period of 13±7 months, cardiac event rates, including cardiac death and nonfatal MI, were significantly higher in patients with TID (11%) and in those with fixed dilation (14%) than in those with normal LV size (2%).…”
