“…Male sex, older age and typical angina were predictors of CAD. In another report, Kostkiewicz and Szot [25] found that in patients with normal 99mTc MIBI SPECT perfusion images (45 patients underwent coronary angiography). One of the 20 women had 40% stenosis of the left main coronary artery, 6 had single and 14 had 2-vessel disease.…”

Background: The diagnostic and prognostic value of stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is well established in literature. The sensitivity and specificity of the test depends on multiple factors. The workload achieved during treadmill exercise is one of the most important determinants. Hence, we thought to assess the coronary anatomy in a group of patients with low exercise tolerance that showed small perfusion defects on stress MPI studies.
