Whether estimates of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) stemming from new-generation cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cameras are accurate remains unclear. We queried our institutional database for patients undergoing MPR with CZT cameras. The primary goal was appraising the incremental diagnostic yield...
