Prognostic utility of sestamibi lung uptake does not require adjustment for stress-related variables: A retrospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: Increased (99m)Tc-sestamibi stress lung-to-heart ratio (sLHR) has been shown to predict cardiac outcomes similar to pulmonary uptake of thallium. Peak heart rate and use of pharmacologic stress affect the interpretation of lung thallium uptake. The current study was performed to determin...
