Value of planar 201Tl imaging in risk stratification of patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis have a poor prognosis with conservative therapy but a high operative mortality if treated surgically. Recently, we proposed a new index of aortic stenosis severity derived from dobutamine stress echocardiography, the projected aortic valve area at a normal...
