Abstract
A divergent pattern in gated SPECT, as an expression of apical remodeling, can be observed in up to a third of patients with ICM, all with a history of anterior infarction. The longer the time between the infarction and the gated SPECT, the more prevalent the LV dilatation becomes. Apical remodeling is a variable predicts mortality in patients with scintigraphic criteria for viability.
