Experiences with

Perfusion

My doctor sent me for an echocardiogram and a myocardial perfusion test. The echocardiogram was sufficient but I went for the perfusion test as well. I'm very concerned now about the radiotracer used they said it was 9 msv of Myoview. Has anyone had myocardial perfusion test?

to hopefully have a second stent put in, unfortunately the consultant was unable to put a stent as it was too blocked and would prevent me having a by pass in the future, I am 40 years old and she said that Is really young to have a bypass so has referred me to harefield hospital to have a mycardial perfusion

hi Due for a Myocardial Perfusion Scan (part 1) soon, has anyone experienced any problems/pain having the scan, I am a bit apprehensive

hi , got my referral today for myocardial perfusion test at 5he John Radcliffe. Seems I must have this before going forward with anymore medication. Does everyone have this test ? I believe it’s to check for any others abnormalities in the heart.

I was just wondering if any of you have had a Myocardial scan, if so what was the outcome ?

I have a perfusion MRI next week I am terrified to go. Apart from the long journey from East Sussex to Brompton Hospital in London. Which I am really stressing about.I am worried when they raise my heart beat I will go back to A F. . And is it dangerous to have it done if you don't need it.

I didn't hear back from the doctor instead I was sent another appointment date for....Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging ( only a scan) appointment was made quite quickly.

Really worried about having this test don't like it when they put the contrast in to raise your heart rate. I am scared it will start the AF. Also worried about the radiation.

My oxygen perfusion was also low and is still low , so this is why I need lung function tests as my Gp thinks I may have Bronchiectasis, especially as I am immunosuppressed and have RA as well as vasculitis. Has anyone else been like this and had this diagnosis. TIA .

On the myocardial perfusion scan they wouldn’t let him complete the treadmill test after the dye was put in because they was afraid he may have a heart attack, he was discharged from there also with no cause of concern.

The MRI shows “Diffuse perfusion defects affecting antero-lateral, inferior and septal segments suggestive of three-vessel coronary disease” which was a shock. But then no follow up, no explanation, nothing.

I’ve yet to speak to my GP, but my cardiologist sent a letter to my GP yesterday (found on my NHS record) following my Cardiac Perfusion scans … the results show ‘fixed subsegmental apical infarction with no inducible ischaemia’ … Google tells me that this is permanent damage from a heart attack, but

Has anyone been to Royal Brompton hospital in London and had a Perfusion MRI. If so wants it like and how long does it take.?

My cardiologist does not think that the leaky valve is the cause of being out of breath, waiting cor a myocardial perfusion test to see if there are other problems. Any experience of using a pulse oximeter to monitor blood oxygen when exercising,and being out of breath, would be useful.

I had a adenosine stress perfusion MRI yesterday as a private patient and my consultants secretary phoned me to say that my consultant wants to see me perhaps as early as tomorrow.

Since then I've has 3 echocardiograms. 1 stress perfusion MRI, unfortunately no improvement in my ejection fraction (boo) and despite sticking to the meds and rehab and regular exercising and diet, I'm still between 35-39%, but the powers that be say the tissue is viable, so fingers crossed.

By introducing FGF-1, we believe that we can are able to replenish the blood supply to the areas lacking proper perfusion, thereby treating the disease in the affected area. As seen in the following slides, FGF-1, was able to do exactly that.

. - Whiplash trauma may further disrupt cerebral perfusion and BBB. - Iron accumulation in substantia nigra can catalyze oxidative stress and dopaminergic neuron degeneration. - These mechanisms combined likely contributed to the onset of parkinsonian symptoms. 3.

I'm booked for a myocardial perfusion scan in Feb/March but will that show microvascular problems? With apologies for the very long post and thanks to anyone who made it to the end!! All suggestions gratefully received,

I was told yesterday I needed this test. Anyone had experience of this? Feeling nervous.
