cardiac physical limitations (pulmonary, peripheral vascular, musculoskeletal, or mental conditions) or due to lack of motivation. Of note, as with exercise testing, anti-ischemic cardiac medications (including b-blockers, nitrates, and calcium antagonists) have been reported to decrease the diagnostic accuracy of vasodilator stress testing. 2.

Reductions in cardiac dimension and pressure reduce myocardial oxygen consump-tion (MṾo 2) and improve myocardial ischemia. NTG may preferentially reduce cardiac preload while maintaining systemic perfusion pressure, an important hemo-dynamic effect in myocardial ischemia. However, in hypovolemic states, higher doses

Myocardial Perfusion Scan - Queensland Health

A myocardial perfusion scan is a test that is used to look for major blockages to the blood supply of the heart commonly known as coronary artery disease. This test has several parts. The order of these parts can change. This usually depends on your condition and what needs to be investigated. The following are the parts of the test; i.
