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
  • 8 min
    • Peak heart rate (85%)
  • 57 --> 120 (85%=149)
    		•
    Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 100 --> 120
    		•
    Double product (Peak rate x BP)
  • 14,400
    • Reason for termination
  • Fatigue. Atypical chest discomfort
    • ECG findings
  • No ST changes
    		•
