Researchers claim to have discovered “exercise in a pill” every few years, like clockwork. They then proceed to oversell its benefits and potential applications to human health and disease. Inevitably the media becomes fascinated with this new molecule or pill and runs wild with headlines about how we have found a way to mimic exercise without all of the hard work (finally).

However, conflicting findings exist regarding the prognostic value of the LVEF reserve (ΔLVEF) when measured by gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT G-MPI). In particular, data related to the prognostic value of ΔLVEF when measured by SPECT in patients with reduced LVEF are scarce.
