RV Pressure Overload
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
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
  • 4 min
    • Peak heart rate (85%)
  • 88 --> 118 (85%=147)
    		•
    Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 118 --> 136
    		•
    Double product (peak rate x BP)
  • 16,000
    		•
    Reason for termination
  • Dyspnea. No chest pain
    • ECG findings
  • No ST changes
    		•
