2003, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Nonrevascularized viable segments lacking function had a relative risk of 1.4 on a composite of mortality and myocardial infarction in this study, although only 18 events (12 cardiovascular deaths) were analyzed.28 Petretta et al also found the number of reversible segments (with unknown treatment type) to be predictive of mortality in a prospective study of 82 subjects using thallium-201 rest-redistribution, in which 14 subjects died of cardiac causes.29 Three analyses looked at differences in survival for patients given medical therapy only.
