Early Myocardial Perfusion Gated-SPECT in Patients With Chest Pain and Non-Diagnostic ECG in the Emergency Department

To analyze the value of early rest myocardial perfusion gated-SPECT in patients with chest pain and non-diagnostic ECG in the emergency department. Two hundred and twenty two patients (mean age 61 [13] years, 49% women) with atypical chest pain and non-diagnostic ECG were randomized into 2 groups. G...
