Investigations on 106 patients with coronary artery disease were performed to improve the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia by combining myocardial scintigraphy and gated blood studies. The results show that it is possible to enhance the detection of coronary artery disease and to classify haemodynamic efficiency. In addition we found that in investigations performed on patients with arrhythmia and under stress conditions the "hybrid-technique" is superior to the framemode acquisition method.
