[Abstract] There are a large amount of patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction who get poor prognosis, but appropriate revascularization can significantly improve the survival rate and the quality of life of these patients. Using different indicators reflecting myocardial activity, there are numerous available imaging technologies for viable myocardial detection. Most previous retrospective analyses thought that there was a clear correlation between viable myocardium and the benefits of revascularization, but recent large-scale prospective clinical trials have failed to prove that, making the clinical application of imaging for myocardial viability faces new challenges. Based on the latest consensus statement of the American Heart Association on imaging for myocardial viability in 2020, this article summarizes the commonly used imaging techniques for myocardial viability detection and clinical application protocol, and further analyzes the controversy arising from recent clinical trials and future research directions.
