Brief Summary: Myocardial perfusion imaging is an efficient tool to assess the risk of major cardiac events for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease If the test is normal or if the abnormalities of perfusion represent less than 10 of the left ventricle myocardium the patient is considered at low risk and should be managed with optimal medical treatment only

Recently new gamma cameras using semi-conductor detectors have been developed Their diagnostic performances have been demonstrated and confronted with various anatomical and functional reference techniques such as coronary angiography and FFR The prognostic value of a normal SPECT MPI has not been specifically assessed yet

Coronary microvascular dysfunction CMVD has been demonstrated to be an early marker of coronary artery disease CAD Preliminary data suggest that myocardial perfusion heterogeneity a potential surrogate marker of endothelial dysfunction can be assessed on conventional MP-SPECT but its additive and independent prognostic value over the presence of myocardial ischemia remain unknown

Accordingly the purpose of this study is

To assess the prognostic value of a normal myocardial perfusion stress imaging using a semiconductor gamma camera with a dual isotope high speed protocol
To evaluate the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion heterogeneity assessed by a new automatized image processing method in normal SPECT MPIs

The main hypothesis is that the presence of myocardial perfusion heterogeneity is predictive of cardiovascular events in patients referred to the Nuclear Cardiology Department for routine evaluation of known or suspected CAD
Detailed Description: SPECT imaging protocol and analysis Stress tests and SPECTs are performed according to the routine protocols in use in our center Briefly at peak stress patients were injected with thallium-201 Five to 10 minutes after stress a 5-minutes supine acquisition was performed followed by a 5-minutes prone acquisition Subsequently technetium-99m-sestamibi was injected and 2 minutes later a single 5-minutes rest acquisition was performed During stress acquisition patients were imaged in supine and prone positions with their arms positioned over their head The rest acquisition was only acquired in supine position The gated SPECT studies were performed at each acquisition Injected activity IA was adjusted for patient weight For weights of 80 kg 80-100 kg100 kg thallium-201 IAs were 7492111 MBq and technetium-99m-sestamibi IAs were 300370450 MBq respectively A uniform imaging pre-treatment for the reconstruction of raw myocardial perfusion imaging data was applied and images were reconstructed and reoriented to obtain transaxial sections of the left ventricle according to the three standard cardiac planes

In this study we use a new mathematic technique from entropy analysis to provide precise objective automated quantification of perfusion heterogeneity at stress with camera SPECT This method may be a non-invasive imaging to assess coronary microvascular dysfunction
