TI-201 rest-redistribution, rest-nitroglycerin MPI, dobutamine stress echo, CMR LGE and FDG-PET each test different facets of viability and thus have a complementary role to assess viability.

SPECT and SPECT-CT can help confidently diagnose (high sensitivity and specificity) ATTR amyloidosis and obviate the need for cardiac biopsy. Be sure to rule out AL amyloidosis first!

F18-FDG PET has a crucial role in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis and tracking treatment response. It is important to ensure adequate dietary preparation for accurate interpretation of results.

Viability testing may not be needed in all pts when deciding to proceed with revascularization. Important to study the nuances of trials such as STICH and REVIVED when making evidence-based decisions. @PanithayaC

takeaways from lectures. PET can help:
1. Guide revascularization options in CTO/complex CAD
2. Assess viability
3. Identify cardiomyopathies
