To examine the susceptibility to myocardial ischemia with mental stress in patients who have coronary artery disease and normal left ventricular (LV) function versus those who have impaired IV function, we examined 58 patients who had coronary artery disease, including 22 who had normal IV function (ejection fraction greater than or equal to50%), 16 who had mild to moderate IV dysfunction (ejection fraction 30% to 50%), and 20 who had severe LV dysfunction (ejection fraction :less than or equal to30%) and underwent bicycle and mental stress testing with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy on consecutive days in random order. Ischemia was assessed based on summed difference scores in regional rest versus stress myocardial perfusion and defined as a summed difference score >3. At comparable double products across the 3 groups, ischemia was induced with mental stress more frequently in patients who had severe LV dysfunction (50%) than in those who had normal LV function (9%; p
