LV Volume / Pressure Overload
Dilated CMP Secondary to Hypertension
(Case 2)
Case history / Imaging data
SPECT myocardial perfusion studies were performed using Tc-99m-Sestamibi and Persantine. Images representing myocardial perfusion were obtained at rest and peak stress.

Stress protocol
  • Persantine
    • Duration of stress
  • 4 min
    • Peak heart rate (basal --> peak)
  • 72 --> 87 (85%=144 )
    		•
    Systolic BP (basal --> peak)
  • 166 --> 120
    • Double product (peak rate x BP)
  • 10,520
    • Reason for termination
  • Protocol achieved. No chest pain
    • ECG findings
  • No ST changes
    		•
