Coronary artery disease detection - limitations of stress testing in left ventricular dysfunction

Abstract: Incidental diagnosis of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVD) is common in clinical practice. The prevalence of asymptomatic LVD (Ejection Fraction, EF < 50%) is 6.0% in men and 0.8% in women and is twice as common as symptomatic LVD. The timely and definitive exclusion of an ischemic etiology is central to optimizing care and reducing mortality in LVD. Advances in cardiovascular imaging provide many options for imaging of patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Clinician experience, patient enduranc… Show more

“…In research on disease diagnosis and prevention, Bomb et al stated that accidental diagnosis of left ventricular systolic dysfunction is common in clinical practice. In the study, he compared the pressure echocardiogram of the test and found its limitations [ 5 ]. He conducted certain research on Internet surveillance systems and updated the current state of knowledge of the event-based Internet biological surveillance system by identifying all systems including current functions.…”

“…Interpretation of MPS images is subjective since several technical and inter-personal features might affect the study. In addition, dilated cardiomyopathy, exercise-induced coronary spasm, mitral valve prolapse, and aortic stenosis have also been associated with various SPECT abnormalities (9).…”

“…It was also known that stress-induced left ventricle geometric change may cause reversible perfusion defects in DCMP. Exercise-induced coronary spasm, mitral valve prolapse, and aortic valve stenosis had been associated with myocardial perfusion abnormalities [ 20 ]. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there is thickening of the myocardium, practically the septum; this can result in significant increased activity in the septum, which results in the significant deceased uptake in the other myocardial walls creating perfusion abnormalities [ 21 ].…”
