Prognosis of patients with left ventricular dysfunction, with and without viable myocardium after myocardial infarction : relative efficacy of medical therapy and revascularization

The uptake of F-18 deoxyglucose into dysfunction segments after myocardial infarction identifies metabolically active (FDG+) or inactive (FDG-) myocardium. Although patients with FDG+ segments have been found to be at risk for adverse events, the prognostic significance of viable myocardium in relat...
