Sažetak
The goal of the article is to present the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of the new nuclear cardiology technique: Gated (synchronized ECG) SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (GSPECT). This multidisciplinary technique represents the state-of-the-art imaging method for noninvasive evaluation of perfusion and the left ventricularmyocardial function. Owing to the technological and scientific development, this method combines two already established nuclear cardiac techniques: myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and radionuclide ventriculography. This approach can simplify and make the noninvasive cardiac diagnostics of patients cheaper, which has been recognized by developed countries of the world where GSPECT is used much more often than in the Republic of Croatia. The non-invasive evaluation of coronary artery stent patency, the preoperative evaluation of myocardial viability, the postinterventional (dilatation and stent) and postoperative (aortocoronary bypass) evaluation of obtained results, as well as the evaluation of the necessity for invasive cardiac management, are just some of the reasons that make this diagnostic technique an unavoidable part of the modern approach in treating cardiovascular patients.
