N2 - The determination of myocardial viability is a crucial parameter in the evaluation of a patient with coronary artery disease. Particulate myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (PMPS) is one of several methods available for this determination. A brief comparison between PMPS and two other commonly used methods is described in this review. The technique and analysis are described and applied to 194 patients with 366 surgically bypassed regions. The patients are analyzed for postoperative regional wall function and for total ventricular function as expressed by ejection fraction. PMPS is a highly accurate and unique study for clinically predicting myocardial viability.
