The in-hospital mortality rate in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains high despite the undoubted achievements in treatment of this disease achieved in the last 40 years. The dangerous complications of AMI remain cardiac microvascular injury (CMI) and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH). IMH is a widespread pathology that occurs in 42 - 57% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention.

(2) : A total of 235 patients who underwent diagnostic invasive coronary angiography within three months of the SPECT and those who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) before SPECT (within 3 months) were enrolled in this study. Each SPECT study was processed to obtain global and regional stress myocardial blood flow (sMBF), rest-MBF (rMBF), myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and flow difference (FD) estimates obtained with 1-tissue-compartment (1TCM) and net retention (NR) modes, both with and without attenuation correction.
