Analysis of Myocardial Flow Reserve Using the CZT Camera. Additional Value to Perfusion and Functional Information in Identifying the Cause of Chest Discomfort
This Short Editorial is referred by the Research article "Clinical Impact of Assessment of Myocardial Flow Reserve in Identifying the Cause of Chest Discomfort".
Chest discomfort is one of the most common symptoms that often leads people to hospital emergency services. The importance of rapid differentiation between acute cardiac ischemic syndrome secondary to significant obstruction of the coronary arteries (obstructive CAD) and other conditions that also causes chest discomfort promptly is essential.
