Popis: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has an established role in the work-up of coronary artery disease (CAD), but its comparative accuracy is debated in elderly patients. We examined a large administrative database to appraise the performance of MPI in octogenarians. Our institutional database was queried for patients undergoing MPI without recent coronary revascularization or myocardial infarction (MI). We compared baseline, procedural, diagnostic, and prognostic features in patients aged
