Abstract
Noninvasive diagnostic methods are particularly attractive to monitor success or failure of surgical revascularization. Using radionuclide imaging, three well-established approaches are considered here: (a) assessment of global or regional left ventricular function, (b) assessment of acute myocardial tissue damage, and (c) assessment of myocardial perfusion.
