Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Consecutive individuals with clinical signs or symptoms of ischemic heart disease who underwent myocardial perfusion PET, between January 2017 and April 2024, at our institution.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: We excluded 536 patients owing to prior documented myocardial infarction and/or coronary revascularization (n=434) [myocardial infarction (n=210), percutaneous coronary intervention (n=378), or coronary artery bypass grafting (n=93)], known cardiomyopathy (n=46), previous hospitalization for heart failure (n=22), left ventricular ejection fraction <30% (n=15), congenital heart disease (n=9), significant valvular heart disease (n=8), and missing data (n=2). Of the remaining 777 patients, 683 patients underwent anatomical coronary assessments via coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), invasive CAG, or both within 6 months of the PET examination; and we excluded 84 patients who did not undergo CCTA or CAG within the 6 months, and 10 patients with inadequate imaging qualities
