Prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging by cadmium zinc telluride single-photon emission computed tomography in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aim of this study was to define the prognostic value of stress myocardial perfusion imaging by cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods and results

Studies published until November 2022 were identified by database search. We included studies using stress myocardial perfusion imaging by CZT-SPECT to evaluate subjects with known or suspected CAD and providing primary data of adverse cardiovascular events. Total of 12 studies were finally included recruiting 36,415 patients. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) for the occurrence of adverse events was 2.17 (95% confidence interval, CI, 1.78-2.65) and heterogeneity was 6
