Clinical significance of ischemic electrocardiographic changes during stress myocardial perfusion imaging: sub-analysis of the J-ACCESS study

摘要

Objectives The cardiac event rate among the countries varies according to ethnicity. Some reports have identified that ischemic heart disease often occurs at a low incidence and is often milder in Japan compared to other countries. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine the clinical significance and prediction for cardiac events in patients who showed ischemic ECG changes during stress myocardial perfusion SPECT.
