1 Patient Name: DOE, JOHN D. Gender: M Date of Study: 4/2/2013 Date of birth: 6/28/1962 Age: 50 Medical Record #: Ordering Physician: JANE INTERNIST, MD History: Atypical Angina, Abn ECG, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, Positive Treadmill Test Indications: Assessment of chest pain, Positive ETT 5.8 mci of Tc-99m sestamibi was administered via IV injection at rest. Approximately 45 minutes afterwards, cardiac SPECT imaging was performed. A stress test was then performed and at peak exercise, 17.9 mci of Tc-99m sestamibi was injected IV; approximately 45 minutes post injection, cardiac gated SPECT and prone cardiac gated SPECT imaging was performed. Attenuation correction was not used. STRESS PROTOCOL: Exercise Stress Test The patient exercised on a treadmill utilizing the Bruce protocol; they completed 11 minutes & 10 seconds, achieving approximately 12.9 METS. Baseline heart rate was measured at 62 bpm, and increased to 185 bpm at peak exercise; which is 108% of the maximum predicted heart rate. The heart rate response was normal. Baseline blood pressure was 142/78 mmhg and increased to 168/92 mmhg at peak exercise, which is a normal response to exercise. Resting ECG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm with diffuse non-specific ST-T wave abnormalities. During exercise, the ECG showed non-sustained V-tach. At peak stress, the ECG revealed downsloping ST-T depression of mm. During exercise, the patient developed dyspnea, chest pain level 4 of 10, fatigue. The reason for exercise termination was chest pain, fatigue, dyspnea, patient's request. Symptomatology resolved during standard recovery period. EXERCISE TEST SUMMARY: min on Bruce protocol Chest pain level 4 of 10 Dyspnea Exercise ST-T changes noted Stopped for chest pain, fatigue, dyspnea, patient's request. EXERCISE TEST IMPRESSION: Positive Study quality: suboptimal due to artifact Left Ventricle: Normal Artifacts: sub-diaphragmatic activity SPECT imaging demonstrated transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle on the post-stress images, along with a medium size, mostly reversible perfusion abnormality of moderate severity located in the apical anterior, apical septal, mid anterior segment(s) of the left ventricle. The stress perfusion defect extent was 20%, the rest perfusion defect extent was 6%, and the stress ischemia extent was 14%. Gated SPECT imaging revealed normal left ventricular wall motion, thickening, and overall LV systolic function. The estimated post-stress ejection fraction was 52%. Abnormal myocardial perfusion: There was transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle on the post-stress images. This is associated with severe CAD. Also, there was a medium size mostly reversible perfusion abnormality of moderate severity located in the apical anterior, apical septal, mid anterior segment(s) of the left ventricle. Stress defect extent = 20%; Rest defect extent = 6%; Stress ischemia extent = 14%. Normal left ventricular systolic function: All segments of left ventricle demonstrated normal wall motion and thickening. Ejection fraction = 52%. Results indicate that myocardial ischemia is possibly the cause of patient chest pain. Recommend cardiac catheterization, PCI if indicated.

Approximately 30 minutes afterwards, cardiac SPECT imaging was performed. A stress test was then performed and at peak stress, 20.3 mci of Tc-99m tetrofosmin was injected IV; approximately 30 minutes post injection, cardiac gated SPECT imaging was performed. Prone images were also acquired to mitigate attenuation artifact(s). STRESS PROTOCOL: Regadenoson Stress Test Reason for Pharmacologic Stress: V-paced, reactive airway disease The patient was intravenously infused with 5ml of regadenoson over 10 seconds for a total dose of.4 mg, followed by a 5ml saline flush over 10 seconds, followed by stress radiotracer administration seconds later. Adjunctive exercise was not used during pharmacologic stress infusion. Heart rate was 64 bpm at baseline, and changed to 89 bpm at peak stress. The heart rate response was normal. Baseline blood pressure was 120/80 mmhg and changed to 80/52 mmhg at peak stress, which is a hypotensive response to regadenoson. Resting ECG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm w/ PVCs, PACs with IVCD, LAHB. During stress the ECG revealed no additional arrythmia. At peak stress, the ECG revealed no diagnostic ST-T changes. During exercise, the patient developed a "funny" feeling, abdominal discomfort, dyspnea. The reason for infusion termination was end of protocol. 100 mgs of aminophylline was infused IV during recovery to reverse vasodilator stress agent. Symptomatology resolved approximately 3 minutes after standard recovery period. REGADENOSON STRESS IMPRESSION: Equivocal Study quality: adequate Left Ventricle: Normal Artifacts: diaphragmatic attenuation, frequent PVCs; gated study suboptimal SPECT imaging demonstrated homogeneous perfusion on the rest and stress images, with transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle on the post-stress images. Gated SPECT imaging of the left ventricle was abnormal, demonstrating mild global hypokinesis of the left ventricle. Overall left ventricular systolic function was mildly impaired. The estimated resting ejection fraction was 55%, and the calculated post-stress ejection fraction was 43%. Abnormal myocardial perfusion: there was transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle on the post-stress images. This is associated with severe CAD. Abnormal left ventricular systolic function: Mild global hypokinesis of the left ventricle. Ejection fraction = 43%. John Hancock, MD FACC Date of Final Report: 4/2/2013

STRESS PROTOCOL: Dipyridamole Stress Test Reason for Pharmacologic Stress: V-paced The patient was intravenously infused with dipyridamole at 142ug/kg/min over 4 minutes for a total dose of 51.3 mg. Adjunctive exercise was used after the pharmocologic stress infusion; the stress dose of radiotracer injected then. The radiopharmaceutical was injected 3 minutes after the infusion. Heart rate was 69 bpm at baseline, and increased to 110 bpm at time of radiopharmaceutical injection. The heart rate response was normal. Baseline blood pressure was 138/84 mmhg and increased to 142/86 mmhg at time of radiopharmaceutical injection, which is a physiologic response to dipyridamole. Resting ECG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm w/ PVCs, PACs with lateral Q-waves. During dipyridamole infusion the ECG revealed PACs, PVCs. At peak infusion, the ECG revealed horizontal ST-T depression of mm. During infusion, the patient developed diaphoresis, nausea. The reason for infusion termination was end of protocol.

DIPYRIDAMOLE STRESS IMPRESSION: Positive by ECG criteria Study quality: adequate Left Ventricle: Normal Artifacts: none SPECT imaging demonstrated a medium size, fixed perfusion abnormality of moderate severity located in the mid inferolateral, basal inferolateral, mid anterolateral segment(s) of the left ventricle. Gated SPECT imaging of the left ventricle was abnormal, demonstrating moderate hypokinesis of the lateral segment(s) of the left ventricle (this abnormality matches a fixed perfusion defect, suggesting myocardial scarring from previous myocardial infarction). Overall left ventricular systolic function was mildly impaired. The estimated post-stress ejection fraction was 44%. Abnormal myocardial perfusion: Medium to large size fixed perfusion abnormality of moderate severity located in the mid inferolateral, basal inferolateral, mid anterolateral segment(s) of the left ventricle.
