N2 - Background: We determined the impact of viability assessment by nitrate single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) on cardiac events during long-term follow-up in patients with previous myocardial infarction, impaired left ventricular (LV) function, and no evidence of inducible ischemia. Methods and Results: Sestamibi SPECT after nitrate was performed in 93 medically treated patients with previous myocardial infarction and LV dysfunction (ejection fraction
