Mortality from congestive heart failure has more than doubled. It is important to note that CAD accounts for the majority (almost 70%) of congestive heart failure cases.
In the clinical management of patients with symptom of heart condition by CAD, the correct assessment of cardiac muscle viability is crucial to guide treatment and this will be as a result of revascularization of dysfunctional however viable heart muscle can improve cavity perform and future survival.
Generally nuclear imaging, stress echocardiography and stress electrocardiography have been the clinical main step for assessing myocardial viability as well as to de... view moreĀ»
