Journal ArticleDOI

Mental stress and the induction of silent myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: Emotionally relevant mental stress may be an important precipitant of myocardial ischemia--often silent--in patients with coronary artery disease and further examination of the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for myocardian ischemie induced by mental stress could have important implications for the treatment of transient myocardia.
Journal Article

"Upward creep" of the heart: a frequent source of false-positive reversible defects during thallium-201 stress-redistribution SPECT.

TL;DR: The frequency of this source of false-positive 201Tl studies can be reduced by delaying SPECT acquisition until 15 min postexercise, which is probably related to a transient increase in mean total lung volume early following exhaustive exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patient motion in thallium-201 myocardial SPECT imaging. An easily identified frequent source of artifactual defect.

TL;DR: A method was developed for detection and correction of motion from SPECT images using a Co–57 point source placed on the lower anterior chest, an area remaining in the camera's field of view throughout imaging, that provides a simple practical approach for the detection of patient motion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thallium-201 stress-redistribution myocardial rotational tomography: Development of criteria for visual interpretation

TL;DR: In 50 consecutive patients, who underwent SPECT stress-redistribution Tl-201 imaging, a systemically developed visual interpretive criteria for perfusion abnormality on SPECT, which offered promise for improved localization of CAD.
