Abstract
Progress in the development of cardiovascular nuclear medicine can be accelerated by close cooperation between cardiologists and nuclear medicine physicians in the planning, performance and interpretation of diagnostic tracer studies. The special needs of patients with acute cardiovascular disorders often require supplementation of the hospital's central nuclear medical facility with one or more satellite units in or near the coronary care unit, cardiac operating suite, postoperative intensive care unit or emergency room. Newly emerging noninvasive cardiac diagnostic laboratories should be equipped to perform certain nuclear medicine procedures. Selected nuclear diagnostic procedures also can provide useful supplemental information during cardiac catheterization and angiography.
