Review of NICE Technology Appraisal Guidance No 73, the use of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis and management of angina and myocardial infarction.

Proposal to move guidance to the static list

The Institute has carried out a search for information relevant to this appraisal, and has found that to the best of its knowledge, no new evidence has been published that would have a material effect on the orginal guidance. Consequently the Institute is proposing that the original guidance becomes static.

In order to be completely confident that this is appropriate, we are asking all original consultees, to inform us of any evidence which would suggest that a review would be beneficial.  Please see the list below of the organsiations we have contacted

Please note all comments received will be published on the Institute’s website when a decision has been taken.
