Extracardiac tumor tracer uptake in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
A 74-year-old man was referred to the Cardiology clinic with a 3-week history of exertional chest tightness. These episodes lasted a few seconds without any limitation to activity. The gentleman is an ex-smoker and a hypertensive on treatment. The results of the clinical examination and ECG were unremarkable. An exercise tolerance test was found to be negative, albeit at a subtarget heart rate....
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is the only widely available method of direct assessment of myocardial perfusion. It involves intravenous injection of small amounts of a radioactive tracer at peak stress, followed by imaging of the heart with a gamma camera. There are three commercially available tracers: thallium-201 and two technetium-labelled tracers, sestamibi and tetrofosmin. All t...
متن کاملThe myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in asymptomatic diabetic patients
Introduction: Asymptomatic diabetic patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Myocardial perfusion scan may be effective in risk evaluation in this population. Methods: 106 asymptomatic diabetic patients (age: min: 37, max: 82, mean: 57.73±8.88), including 56 females (52.8%) and 50 males (47.2%) were enrolled in the study. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy was performed b...
