Background : 201 -TI myocardial single - photon emission computed tomograph (SPECT) is recognized to be an excellent tool for identifying viability after myocardial infarction but being expensive and needing a longer time for imaging are among its main limitation . Hence this study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose dobutamine echocardiography and Tc - 99m myoview gated SPECT in assessment of myocardial viability in comparison to 201-TI
