Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy: interpretation of a normal scan
Although a number of imaging modalities are available to non-invasively evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial perfusion scintig-raphy (MPS) with single photon emission computed tomog-raphy (SPECT) has been the workhorse for this purpose for over decades [1]. Notwithstanding its high sensitivity to detect ischaemia (85–90 %), a caveat of a normal per...
متن کاملComparison of plasma leptin levels in patients with normal, low and high risk myocardial perfusion scan [Persian]
Introduction: Leptin, secreted from adipose tissue may have some correlation with coronary artery disease according to some reports in literature. The mean concentration of plasma leptin in patients with normal and abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and relation of leptin levels, independently to abnormality in MPI after correction for body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Methods...
متن کاملComment on: Dual LAD with anomalous origin of long LAD from right coronary sinus: A variant of type VI LAD
A 50‐year‐old gentleman was referred to our department for computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography with complaints of pain on the left side of the chest and cold sweats since 4 days. CT coronary angiography, done on a 64‐slice CT (Somatom Sensation‐64, Erlangen, Germany), showed evidence of dual LAD. The short LAD was arising from the left main coronary artery and coursing in the proximal...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scan accuracy in detection of coronary artery disease - Comparison with exercise stress test [Persian]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...
متن کاملHigher event rate in patients with known CAD despite a normal myocardial perfusion scan.
OBJECTIVE The negative predictive value of a normal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is very high. However, prognostic implication of a normal SPECT MPI in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) is not clear. Objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiac event rate in patients with known CAD who had a normal stress SPECT MPI....
