perfusion scan
my husband has just had this scan done over 2 days he is seeing the consultant next week for results he knows that the l a d is severely damaged from heart attacks years ago. he is hoping that some part of this area will be able to be bypassed I think that is right but not sure does anyone know much

Scans
Hi All, The myocardial
perfusion
scan, went well yesterday. It was a stress one. I was told they may ask me to come back for a rest one? Saw my GP today. She changed my Gtn spray to a long lasting tablet. Only to take a half of this tablet. we left the beta blocker at the same dosage.

CT Scan
Had a phone call from hospital to ask me if I would go for a Myocardial
Perfusion
Scan. This I have next Tuesday. Had my Echocardiogram last Wednesday, my god wasn't it painful. I was glad when it was finished. They also want my GP to tiltrate my Beta-Blocker and give me a long lasting nitrate.

Smiling at adversity through gritted teeth
As I’ve previously posted, I have a moderate to severe leaky mitral valve, heart failure with an EF of 38%, and ischemic heart disease ( reversible
perfusion
defect in inferior wall and apex) so I had an angiogram on Wednesday to be told my arteries were in good shape ( fantastic!)

Chest compression pain but only at rest
Since then, 2 ECGs, clear; electrocardiogram - left ventricular systolic function mildly impaired, but left ventriculargram fairly normal; Invasive angiogram shows "de-novo lesion from mid LAD to S1 with 50-74% stenosis with full
perfusion
".

Breathless during treadmill test
I have had
perfusion
scan, CT scan, 3 angiograms and nothing showed up that can explain my symptoms. I do now have diagnosis of " possible coronary artery spasms" due to troponin rise episodes and chest pain but nobody can give any explanation as to why I cant complete these stress tests.

Myocardial perfusion scan - reason?
Ive got a scan coming up after my HA and whilst i can see that it is a procedure that will allow drs the ability to see how my heart is performing , i cant quite see how it will help them sort things if there is anything that is wrong . As you can see I'm feeling a bit negative - apologies

Myocardial Perfusion Test.
Has any of you had a
Perfusion
test done. I did on Monday. It was a terrible experience. I had terrible chest pains during and after the test. Than a nose bleed. Than went into the scanner. And the scan turned out no good.

Do I or Don't I - more than a little confused now
Having been told I was in Heart Failure and taking a pile of pills the original plan last October was to have a Micro
Perfusion
Scan with the end result being Rotablation if necessary but am still waiting for either.

Cardiologist with imagination in or near West Midlands?
Discharged by NHS after myocardial
perfusion
scan results were ‘entirely normal’, I had three angina-like attacks the following week. GP cannot re-refer, but will write for advice if pain responds to GTN spray, but I’ve not been able to test that yet.

Another GP story
She then asked about oedema and I told her I had already had a
perfusion
scan and no heart problems were detected. She finally settled on my weight and the need to reduce. I pointed out that I had found it impossible to lose weight and keep it off.

Just plain scared now.
The doctor at the clinic clearly thought I had reflux, but gave me a GTN spray and referred me for myocardial
perfusion
scan. Frankly, I’m scared. I’ve had two more episodes in the last three weeks, both in the middle of night, both of which have left me feeling exhausted.

Stress MRI v Stress MPS
In a letter from Cardiology it says " from the MPS it reveals there is a total
Perfusion
Defect affecting 16% of the Myocardium 4 % is reversible and 12% is fixed.

myocardial perfusion stress test and PD
I'm scheduled to have a nuclear stress test at the end of the week. Among other things it involves an injection of a tiny dose of radioactive thallium and seeing how the heart muscle reacts. Are there any of you who have had this test and did it have an effect on your pd? Thanks, Jon

A Couple of Tips...
Supplemental oxygen abolishes this constriction, leading to poor ventilation/
perfusion
matching. This redistribution of blood to areas of the lung with poor ventilation reduces the amount of carbon dioxide eliminated from the system.

Myocardial Profusion Scan
There is a total
perfusion
defect affecting 16% of the Myocardium 4 % of this is reversible and 12% is fixed and non reversible !!! Anyone know would this defect be as a result of my previous Heart Attack or just long term decline??

AF and dementia issues
'Patients with AF have been found to have reduced cerebral
perfusion
'. 'Hypoperfusion' stood out for me. It is an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients (to the brain). When I'm in AF, I'm often short of breath, and also feel like I can't think or concentrate.
