LVEF reserve was the only predictor of left main/three-vessel disease, with an LVEF reserve of greater than +5% demonstrating a negative predictive value of 975 for excluding left main/three-vessel CAD.

The sensitivity for detecting CAD in patients with single and multivessel disease was 92% and 95%, respectively. (Pubitemid 46349498)

Rb-82 PET MPI provided significant incremental prognostic value to historical/clinical variables and rest LVEF to predict survival free of cardiac events and all-cause death.

CTA was found to have an excellent negative predictive value for diagnosis of CAD (> 95%), but had poor predictive value for identifying myocardial ischemia. A normal PET was a poor discriminator of patients with subclinical atherosclerosis, suggesting complementary roles for these two modalities. (Pubitemid 350103056)
