Evaluation data about accuracy of cadmium-zinc-telluride imaging in detecting single and multivessel coronary artery disease: Focus on gender differences

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled: “Accuracy of cadmium-zinc-telluride imaging in detecting single and multivessel coronary artery disease: is there any gender difference?” (Gimelli et al., 2018). We evaluated gender-related differences in diagnostic accuracy of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in detecting single- and multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD). We included 1161 consecutive patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (228, 25% women and 873, 75% men) who had been referred to our laboratory for stress–rest myocardial perfusion imaging (single-day stress–rest low-dose ultrafast protocol). All patients underwent coronary angiography within 30 days; CAD was defined in the presence of a coronary stenosis >70%. Summed stress scores (SSS), summed rest scores (SRS) and summed difference scores (SDS) were obtained. Image quality was graded “good” or better in more than 90% of patients.
