Case history/ Imaging data
SPECT myocardial perfusion studies were performed using Tc-99m-Sestamibi. Images representing myocardial perfusion were obtained at rest and peak stress.

Stress protocol
  • Treadmill / Bruce
    • Duration of stress
  • 15 min
    • Peak heart rate (85%)
  • 95 --> 196 (85%=153)
    		•
    Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 140 --> 200
    		•
    Double product (peak rate x BP)
  • 40,000
    		•
    Reason for termination
  • Fatigue. No chest pain
    • ECG findings
  • No ST changes
    		•
