Non-Invasive Imaging in Coronary Syndromes: Recommendations of The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and the American Society of Echocardiography, in Collaboration with The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, and Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
2022, Journal of Cardiovascular Computed TomographyCitation Excerpt :Under resting conditions, in the presence of severe coronary stenosis or collateral dependency, hypokinesis and even akinesis can occur with hypoperfusion of only the endocardial portion of the myocardium.39 Akinesis or dyskinesis at rest may be due to transmural flow reduction39,40 or previous myocardial infarction, even if not transmural.41 Regional contractile response to exercise or inotropic stress can be used to identify inducible myocardial ischemia.

Myocardial viability
2015, Advanced Cardiac ImagingMyocardial viability: It is still alive
2014, Seminars in Nuclear MedicineCitation Excerpt :Consensus is that the changes in LVEF after revascularization are positively correlated with the number of hibernating segments.22 The presence of viability on PET has been shown to predict functional recovery after revascularization even when contractile reserve is exhausted on functional testing.29 Revascularization in patients with significant viability has been shown to improve outcomes, LV function, and functional class.30
Role of echocardiography in the assessment of myocardial viability
2009, American Journal of the Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :In general, DSE tends toward the underestimation of viability while nuclear imaging modalities tend toward the overestimation of viability. A significant number of nonviable LV segments by DSE will be viable by a nuclear imaging modality.50,51 Interestingly, it has been shown that FDG PET-viable segments with contractile reserve by DSE have less severe myocardial cell ultrastructural damage than FDG PET-viable segments without contractile reserve by DSE.52,53
Value of low-dose Dobutamine addition to routine dual isotope gated SPECT myocardial imaging in patients with healed myocardial infarction or abnormal wall thickening by echocardiogram
2004, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :This may be attempted in selected cases based on initial imaging findings. Although FDG positron emission tomographic imaging is not a perfect standard for predicting functional recovery after revascularization, it has been used extensively by many investigators as an acceptable metabolic viability marker against which other types of viability markers are compared.7,8,15–18 The combined information from thallium-201 uptake at rest and CR with LDD was found to be more accurate than either marker alone for the detection of myocardial viability, as defined by post-revascularization functional recovery,10,19–21 or by positron emission tomographic FDG imaging,7,8 which was also confirmed in this study.
