Most of what we know of nuclear cardiology has been discovered in the last nearly 50 y. In tracing the history of nuclear cardiology research, we find that, early on, it attracted the attention of some of the best minds in nuclear medicine and cardiology, who were working closely with highly talented, skilled, and academically engaged radiochemists, physicists, and technologists. This successful blueprint of an integrated approach to scientific discovery that addresses clinically relevant issues remains true today and should remain true in the future.
