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 exercise
  • 5 min 31 sec
    • Peak heart rate (85%)
  • 55 --> 131 (85%=135)
    		•
    Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 125 --> 185
    		•
    Double product (peak rate x BP)
  • 24,200
    		•
    Reason for termination
  • Typical chest pain
    • ECG findings
  • >2 mm ST depression
    • IMAGES
