description PURPOSE: As COVID-19 was uncovered, it became evident that specific individuals could experience multi-organ complications for quite a while after infection. Among them, there were several cardiovascular complications. Myocardial perfusion imaging single photon emission computed tomography (MPI SPECT) can be utilized to detect and evaluate cardiac problems regardless of whether COVID caused them. By examining all publications relevant to the impacts of the pandemic on SPECT MPI imaging, we aimed to understand how the COVID pandemic affected different aspects of the MPI, how intense these effects were, and what the consequences were. METHOD: On the 6th of June, 2022, a four-domain search strategy was developed and implemented by searching the following databases: PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The retrieved records have been put through two levels of screening. The search for forward and backward citations provided more results. RESULTS: This study contained 32 papers, divided into the following three categories: 1. Case reports and series; 2. A comparison of the number of MPIs conducted before and after the pandemic; and 3. SPECT MPI findings. CONCLUSION: We observed through the article review that CT scans performed in combination with MPI are crucial and should be interpreted within the context of COVID, especially during outbreaks. Moreover, we discovered that in the initial months of the pandemic, the number of SPECT MPIs performed globally decreased, with the fall being more significant in some countries, primarily in low- to middle-income regions. Lastly, we found that individuals with a history of COVID-19 may be more prone to having MPIs that demonstrate abnormalities, such as ischemia. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: [Image: see text]
