title: Prognostic value of simultaneous perfusion and function assessment using technetium-99m sestamibi.
abstract: This study examines the prognostic value of simultaneous perfusion and function assessment in 412 patients. The exercise perfusion pattern was a stronger predictor of events (mostly acute nonfatal myocardial infarcts) than resting ejection fraction.
