Fixed Perfusion Defects
Typical LAD MI in Young Man
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
  • 9 min
  • Peak heart rate (85%)
  • 54 --> 125 (85%=156)
  • Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 132 --> 190
  • Double product (peak rate x BP)
  • 23,800
  • Reason for termination
  • Typical chest pain
  • ECG findings
  • ST-T abnormalities in the anterior leads at rest
  • Pseudonormalization with stress
