TLDR
Treadmill exercise is the most widely used stress modality and several treadmill exercise protocols are described which differ in the speed and grade of treadmill inclination and may be more appropriate for specific patient populations.

Impact of Novel Antidepressants on Cardiac 123I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Uptake: Experimental Studies on SK-N-SH Cells and Healthy Rabbits.

TL;DR: The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor escitalopram had no major impact on neuronal cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake within therapeutic dose ranges, whereas other types of first-line antidepressants for MDD treatment led to a significant decrease.

Stress-only myocardial perfusion imaging

TL;DR: There are limited data that suggest that the idea of stress-only imaging warrants further study and perhaps selective use in expert labs, and the standard stress and rest SPECT imaging must remain the standard at this time.

Ischemic Heart Disease: Noninvasive Imaging Techniques and Findings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the spectrum of imaging findings of ischemic heart disease (coronary artery disease, myocardial ischemia, and MI); highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the various non-invasive imaging methods used to assess ischemic heart disease, as illustrated by recent clinical trials.

Cardiac Imaging With 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine and Analogous PET Tracers: Current Status and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: With the robustly demonstrated ability to predict occurrence of potentially fatal arrhythmias, cardiac 123I-mIBG imaging shows promise for better selecting patients who will benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, but clinical use has been hampered by lack of the randomized trial needed for incorporation into societal guidelines.

High efficiency gamma camera enables ultra-low fixed dose stress/rest myocardial perfusion imaging.

TL;DR: CZT cameras may enable reliable MPI scanning in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease using protocols with about a factor 4-decrease in radiation dose exposure compared with traditional protocols.

Exercise Standards for Testing and Training A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

TL;DR: These guidelines are a revision of the 1995 standards of the AHA that addressed the issues of exercise testing and training and current issues of practical importance in the clinical use of these standards are considered.
