Exercise equilibrium radionuclide angiography predicts long-term cardiac prognosis in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm being considered for surgery.
BACKGROUND: Patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have a high prevalence of coronary disease and are at risk for cardiac events. This may offset the prognostic benefit of surgical repair. We investigated whether preoperative exercise equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) could be us...
