DOES MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY DETECTION IMPROVE USING A NOVEL COMBINED 99MTC SESTAMIBI INFUSION AND LOW DOSE DOBUTAMINE INFUSION IN HIGH RISK ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY PATIENTS?

Does myocardial viability detection improve using a novel combined 99mTc sestamibi infusion and low dose dobutamine infusion in high risk ischemic cardiomyopathy patients?

Objective: Early identification of viable myocardium in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients is essential for early intervention and better clinical outcome.99mTechnetium (99mTc) sestamibi gated myocardial perfusion imaging (gMPI) is a well-established technique for myocardial viability evaluation.Detection of potentially viable segments is a pre
