Two-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملComparison of long-term mortality risk following normal exercise vs adenosine myocardial perfusion SPECT
BACKGROUND A higher frequency of clinical events has been observed in patients undergoing pharmacological vs exercise myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). While this difference is attributed to greater age and co-morbidities, it is not known whether these tests also differ in prognostic ability among patients with similar clinical profiles. METHODS AND RESU...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scintigraphy: interpretation of a normal scan
Although a number of imaging modalities are available to non-invasively evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial perfusion scintig-raphy (MPS) with single photon emission computed tomog-raphy (SPECT) has been the workhorse for this purpose for over decades [1]. Notwithstanding its high sensitivity to detect ischaemia (85–90 %), a caveat of a normal per...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scan accuracy in detection of coronary artery disease - Comparison with exercise stress test [Persian]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...
