Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, 4e AB - KEY POINTSHeart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition with [a] high mortality rate.Accurate quantitation of left ventricular function is possible with gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and radionuclide ventriculography.Nuclear cardiology is helpful in distinguishing ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy in many patients, particularly in those without symptoms or risk factors for coronary artery disease.Nuclear cardiology techniques can accurately quantify myocardial ischemia and viability.Risk stratification of HF patients may be enhanced with neurohumoral imaging, assessment of myocardial blood flow, and ventricular remodeling.PET has particular utility in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis and for the surveillance of posttransplant patients for allograft vasculopathy.
