Abstract
Assessment of myocardial viability after an acute myocardial infarction is needed because the prognosis after the acute phase of a coronary event and the indication for revascularization therapy by percutaneous coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting are linked to the amount of residual viable and contractile myocardium. Among noninvasive techniques of investigation, positron emission tomography can evaluate the myocardial viability by comparing the regional study of myocardial metabolism to flow.
