Experiences with

Perfusion

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.

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.

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

Over the last 2 years I have had intermittent chest discomfort symptoms which tie up with unstable angina, although nitro spray doesn't help. 2 years ago had a myocardial perfusion scan which showed good blood flow to the heart. Still getting the discomfort, though.

I have confirmed myocardial ischemia during a mycocardial perfusion scan , and unobstructed arteries , confirmed by an angiogram , I do have narrowing in one section but nothing worth stenting .

After a dodgy ECG I had a cardio MRI which came up with “subendocardial perfusion consistent with microvascular dysfunction “! The nightmare didn’t stop there because I went to develop horrendous symptoms consistent with rheumatoid arthritis- the pain every morning is unbearable.

Where I spent the next 12 days( I still don't know I was in for so long) I had an angiogram on the 1st of December and an MRI perfusion and CT scan I have been diagnosed with coronary artery spasms that triggers polymorphic VT, microvascular angina and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

He is scheduled for an MPI (myocardial perfusion imaging) that is estimated for September. Is his raising level of PSA not concerning? My parents are planning to return to their home town, Taiwan, to get quicker results and treatment.

I wrote here a few months ago after I'd had an MPI (Myocardial Perfusion Imaging) scan showing mild damage to the anterior wall of my heart. I was told I had angina and put on several medications.

I had a negative biopsy and no jaw claudication nor effects to eyesight but scans of my kidneys showed hypo perfusion (slow blood flow) of blood. My rheumatologist said it was atypical GCA and he worked on symptoms not test results.

Has anybody had one of these tests. This is to see how the blood is flowing through the heart by speeding up the heart rate. I am concerned as I have atrial fibrilation most of the time. The beta blocker slows down the heart rate yet they seem happy for me to take my usual dose on the day of the test

The first had ended in discharge following a clear myocardial perfusion scan and the advice that there was nothing wrong with me. The second ended in a diagnosis of exclusion with no further testing and discharge back to the care of my GP.

I had a NM Myocardial Perfusion scan in February 2024. This showed that part of my heart muscle was not getting an adequate blood supply. Shortly after that I had a echocardiogram which showed that my LVEF was 47% plus a few other "mild/borderline" results.

The scan came back showing mild heart damage with a part of my anterior wall not receiving enough oxygen during a stress test through myocardial perfusion imaging test.. I’m told I have angina.

Long story short I'm now waiting for cardiac perfusion mri and in A&E vasovagul spasm and syncope was a possibility so have been prescribed Ranazalone and although it should have been given last night it is tonight that I've actually been given it.

A myocardial perfusion scan 18 months ago showed no problems with blood flow. Booked in for chest clinicThoughts?

Finally saw a cardiologist, she's booking a nuclear scan (medical doctor said perfusion scan) in preparation for my follow up up. Turns out I wasn't taken off list afterall. Or could the gp have gotten through to them that fast from Wednesday?

Multiparametric assessment of the prostate was undertaken with the application of multiplanar T2, diffusion, and dynamic perfusion series in an attempt to characterize intraprostatic disease distribution and volume.
