Impact of Early Revascularization on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Relation to Automatically Quantified Ischemia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Using a contemporary, multicenter international single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) registry, this study characterized the potential major adverse cardiovascular event(s) (MACE) benefit of early revascularization based on automatic quantification of ischemia.

Background

Prior single-center data reported an association between moderate to severe ischemia SPECT-MPI and reduced cardiac death with early revascularization.

Methods

Consecutive patients from a multicenter, international registry who underwent ^99mTc SPECT-MPI between 2009 and 2014 with solid-state scanners were included. Ischemia was quantified automatically as ischemic total perfusion deficit (TPD). Early revascularization was defined as w
