I am waiting too long for a nuclear stress test since i am in canada the wait will be very long and i am. Ex smoker had stress test finding was upward sloping st depression with slight back pain during 2nd level of test. I am 53yr old female experienced chest squeezing lasting 5 10minutes high cholesteral taking meds for years.
As the healthcare community moves away from open reporting the implementation of structured reporting is. The structured report is an integral part of the electronic health care record and is necessary for deļ¬ning quality in all nuclear cardiology practices. Test results are portable as patients move through the healthcare system.
The program makes. Uses a report template and allows the reader to access text segments from a standardized list of segments that were found to occur commonly in reports of normal and abnormal findings from clinical studies. Stress test results description and interpretation of images and final impression.
In nuclear medicine. We present a case of exercise testing in a 53 year old man with wpw syndrome with ischemic appearing ecg changes and normal nuclear stress perfusion study findings who was thought to be at clinically. Ecg changes during exercise stress testing such as false positive st segment depression and disappearance of the delta wave are reported in patients with the wolff parkinson white wpw pattern.
The nuclear test was terminated at target heart rate my husband said it took him longer to reach during this test and the time frame was 12 minutes 30 seconds he had no chest pain or left shoulder discomfort resting bp was 114 72 with peak bp of 152 80 heart rate increased to a maximum of 133 beats min 85 of age predicted maximal. Over thirty years ago a benefit of surgical revascularization was demonstrated in patients with stable ischemic heart disease sihd but this was before most of our current disease modifying medical therapies for coronary artery disease cad were. A better method for patient selection is needed.
The benefit of revascularization in stable ischemic heart disease patients is controversial. All for one cardiovascular provides a range of information on clinical advancement industry. At a time when healthcare is becoming increasingly complex it s never been more critical for nuclear cardiologists technologists nurses and their patients care teams to communicate collaborate and share resources.
Bringing nuclear cardiology professionals together for patient focused care.
Nuclear stress test segments. Nuclear medicine has long played an important role in the noninvasive evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease. The development of single photon emission computed tomography spect led to improved assessments of myocardial perfusion and the use of electrocardiographic gating made accurate measurements of ventricular wall motion ejection fractions and ventricular volumes. Results from a nuclear stress test. Abnormal perfusion study with severe partly reversible distal septal and apical defect small in size.
