In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), ischaemic cardiomyopathy may result in progressive cardiac remodelling and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can be used to quantify LV size and shape, mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) and ejection fraction (EF) as well as myocardial ischaemia and injury extents. We investigated the prevalence of LV remodelling (LVR) in patients with CAD and the relationship between LVR, LVMD and EF.
