Abstract

With the rapid improvement in instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals, cardiovascular nuclear medicine has undergone dramatic growth. Radiotracer techniques for the estimation of myocardial blood flow, metabolism and cardiac hemodynamics have been accepted into routine clinical practice. These techniques are also providing sensitive tools to help us elucidate cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. This review explores a number of recent developments in this rapidly changing field.
