title: Does the presence and site of myocardial ischemia on perfusion scintigraphy predict the occurrence and site of future myocardial infarction in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
abstract: In 47 patients who had undergone myocardial scintigraphy, reversible perfusion abnormality was detected in only 28 segments (60%) that were the site of future acute myocardial infarction.
