The role of radionuclide imaging in the determination of myocardial viability is well known , Simultaneous perfusion and motion assessment of myocardial scintigraphy may significantly increase the diagnostic gain of ECGgated Tc - 99m - Sestamibi SPECT compared with an isolated perfusion assessment , Hibernating myocardium is said to exist when myocardial function is impaired as a result of critical coronary artery stenosis / reduced coronary blood flow in the absence of myocardial necrosisThus , detection of hibernating myocardium is of great therapeutic and prognostic significance
