Abstract:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide and improving the prognosis and survival of patients with ischemic heart disease remains a priority of cardiovascular specialists. This article will review the principles of myocardial viability, present the noninvasive imaging tests available to clinicians, as well as critically appraise the latest literature on myocardial viability, coronary revascularization and outcome with a final outlook at studies in the pipelines and future evidence in myocardial viability that will be soon available.
