Assessment of Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Diseaseon in mortality that has been seen over recent years. This underscores the importance of early identification of patients most at risk for the development of coronary artery disease. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging has been validated as an efficient non-invasive modality in the detection of coro

Evaluation of Patients with Known Coronary Artery Diseasetatistics [1], the estimated annual incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in the United States is 610,000 new attacks and 325,000 recurrent attacks, and 16,300,000 Americans ≥20 years of age have coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the high prevalence, prognosis for patients with known CAD has

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Specific Patient Populations such as those with and without CAD. A major strength of the literature in Nuclear Cardiology is the wealth of data in the assessment of specific patient groups. This chapter will review the use of stress radionuclide perfusion imaging in the diagnosis and risk stratification of specific patient gro

Exercise Stress Testinghy (ECG) in patients who are able to exercise to an adequate workload (of at least 85% of age-adjusted maximal predicted heart rate and five metabolic equivalents) because of its high accessibility and its low cost. It allows for a physiologic assessment of functional capacity, symptoms and hemodyna

TEN

Pharmacologic Stress Testing However in conditions when a patient cannot exercise maximally or has a contraindication to exercise testing (Table 10.1), pharmacologic agents may be used in conjunction with myocardial perfusion imaging to assess patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.

SPECT Radiopharmaceuticalspplication is for the diagnosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Myocardial perfusion imaging allows the visualization of myocardium via the use of radiotracers. The most common tracers used in SPECT imaging are Thallium-201 (.Tl) and Technetium-99m (.Tc) labeled compounds.
