Myocardial perfusion investigation
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

Lack.of information from doctors
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.

MRI and beta blocker
Have just got an appointment through for a cardiac MRI
perfusion
test. They have told me to stop the beta blocker for 48 hrs before. Is that normal? I thought we were not supposed to come off suddenly? And if the tests on Monday morning does that mean I take it on Saturday morning or not?

Unremarkable myocardial perfusion scan with <36 EF
Had NSTEMI thirty months ago and seven stents. Had dissection during procedure. Never had chest pain prior to this but never without since. My 3rd cardiologist discharged me after scan result Now 2 months after the scan I am experiencing angina with pain ]in chest, stomach and back on even moderate

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
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.

Ranazalone 375mg. Too nervous to take it.
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.

stress Echo results
This is similar territory to that reported on the
perfusion
scan previously. I will arrange to review the imaging in our MDT along with the last angiogram.’

Good morning, hope all are as well as can be. Following on from cramps in legs to a trip to A&E.
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?

Myocardial perfusion scan.
Hi everyone. Has anyone had one of these scans? It was mentioned at my appointment, only in the letter to my GP which arrived 2 days before the appointment letter, so I didn't have a chance to ask questions.I'm just a bit puzzled as it says I can have a "light" breakfast, but no caffeine for 12 hours

Premature CAD
Also wondering if a stress
perfusion
is the right thing to do to identify a blockage or wouldn't an angiogram have been better? My cardiologist is fantastic but just wanted to hear others thoughts.

Prostate MRI results - Advice appreciated
Prostate volume calculated in DynaCAD Prostate Boundary segmentation: 50 cc PERIPHERAL ZONE: Symmetric high signal on T2-weighted imaging with no restricted diffusion or asymmetric
perfusion
. Few linear areas of low signal likely representing scarring.

MRI from 3-30-2024.
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.

An Eventful January
Appt went well enough, but, confirmation of Ectopics, EF was last measured at 46% by
Perfusion
Scan in June last year so he was happy with that. I may have an Echo in the next couple of months to re-check valves and shunt, although I'm not bothered either way. Bloods(3) taken again.

Parkinsons and altitude
The body’s first reaction to oxygen deprivation is to increase cerebral
perfusion
, enabling more blood to reach the brain. This is normal, but under certain conditions it can cause problems.

cardiac stress perfusion MRI
Back in November I had a stent fitted as had angina attack out the blue and my RV was almost completely blocked. Since then I’ve still suffered with angina attacks. My consultant has put me on nicorandil which after fighting the side effects practically cured my angina. I’ve just today had a cardiac

HF Going in the Right Direction
Cardiologist is considering having a CRT device fitted, but, knows I dont particularly fancy one, so decided on a
Perfusion
Scan for more accurate results before commiting to the device.
