A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.

What does angina pectoris mean? (healthhype.com)
Angina pectoris is NOT a heart attack. (healthhype.com)

Stents, the ORBITA trial concluded, offered no measurable clinical improvement in stable angina when compared to a sham procedure. (verywellhealth.com)
If we step back and take an objective look at the available data, it turns out not to be that difficult to come up with an approach for treating stable angina that makes sense, and also fits the evidence from the clinical trials (including ORBITA) as it exists today. (verywellhealth.com)
Furthermore, stable angina in women is associated with increased coronary mortality relative to women in the general population and, among easily identifiable clinical subgroups, has similarly high absolute rates of prognostic outcomes compared with men. (ucl.ac.uk)
In this context, the effective management of chronic stable angina is paramount for clinical and economic reasons. (biomedcentral.com)
Although acupuncture has been widely accepted as a clinical approach for angina, there is no sufficient evidence of its effectiveness against this syndrome, and its mechanisms have not yet been well elucidated. (biomedcentral.com)

The Angina Prognosis Study in Stockholm (APSIS) investigated the use of beta blockers in men and women. (ptcommunity.com)
First, patients with a stable CAD have a very good prognosis and large sample size studies are required to assess the potential differences in treatments in the case of rare events. (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
Objective: To determine sex differences in the incidence and prognosis of stable angina in a large ambulatory population. (ucl.ac.uk)
Prognosis is often good, particularly in patients with chronic stable symptoms receiving contemporary secondary prevention therapy, but in those with recently diagnosed angina risk is greater, with a 2 to 3% incidence of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction in the first year. (enetmd.com)

Stable angina, also known as exertional angina, is the most common form. (emedtv.com)
