Use of acute myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in a risk stratification scheme. Risk of cardiac events, either myocardial infarction (MI) or the combination of MI and revascularization, increased as risk level increased from level 4 to 2. Patients who had positive findings on MPI had an event rate similar to level 2 patients (high-risk acute coronary syndrome). NS = not significant.
