AB  - KEY  POINTSNormal  single-photon  emission  computed  tomography  (SPECT)  or  positron  emission  tomography  (PET)  myocardial  perfusion  imaging  (MPI)  predicts  low  risk  of  major  adverse  cardiac  events.Abnormal  SPECT  or  PET  MPI  predicts  multifold  increase  in  risk,  commensurate  with  severity  and  extent  of  perfusion  abnormalities.SPECT  and  PET  MPI  provide  incremental  prognostic  value  beyond  clinical,  stress,  and  anatomic  data.Ancillary  SPECT  or  PET  MPI  findings,  such  as  left  ventricular  ejection  fraction,  left  ventricular  function  reserve,  and  transient  ischemic  dilation,  further  refine  risk  prediction.PET-derived  myocardial  blood  flow  and  coronary  flow  reserve  (CFR)  measurements  provide  valuable  prognostic  information  beyond  MPI  data  and  can  identify  residual  risk  in  patients  with  normal  MPI.SPECT  and  PET  MPI  and  CFR  data  can  guide  management  decision  making.Coronary  artery  calcium  quantification  using  hybrid  SPECT/CT  or  PET/CT  systems  further  improves  risk  prediction.
