The first part of the review concerning myocardial imaging by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) discussed the basic aspects of interpretation of left ventricular perfusion disorders in stress and rest examination. The second part presented the interpretation of gated SPECT imaging in relation to the assessment of systolic and diastolic left ventricular functions. The third part concerns the assessment of myocardial viability and phase analysis from gated SPECT in the qualification of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
