AB  - In  the  last  40  years,  there  has  been  a  dramatic  decline  in  cardiovascular  mortality.  Over  the  past  decade  alone,  the  rate  of  death  attributable  to  cardiovascular  disease  has  decreased  by  30%.1  This  trend  is  credited  primarily  to  the  development  and  implementation  of  effective  treatment  strategies  including  medical  therapy,  interventions  such  as  coronary  artery  bypass  graft  surgery  (CABG)  and  percutaneous  coronary  interventions  (PCIs),  and  successful  treatment  for  acute  myocardial  infarction  (MI).  The  decision  to  undergo  myocardial  perfusion  imaging  (MPI)  evaluation  following  the  diagnosis  of  ischemic  heart  disease  is  an  important  one,  particularly  in  asymptomatic  patients.  This  chapter  will  evaluate  the  role  of  stress  MPI  in  patients  with  known  CAD  in  a  variety  of  settings,  including  medical  therapy,  postinterventions,  and  following  MI.
