Abstract
In patients with known or suspected CAD undergoing dipyridamole stress, MCE provides powerful prognostic information that is superior to clinical variables, electrocardiography, left ventricular systolic function, WT analysis, and SPECT. MCE may therefore serve as a method of choice for myocardial perfusion assessment in patients with known or suspected CAD. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
