In patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular dysfunction, flow/metabolic studies of the myocardium with positron emission tomography (PET) are able to distinguish viable but dysfunctional myocardium from irreversible ischemic injury and scar tissue. In this study, PET findings of blood flow and metabolism in chronically hypoperfused myocardium were correlated with histology.
