Across stress laboratories, however, neither consistent exercise protocols nor standard alternative protocols for different populations were found. With upright exercise such as jogging or fast walking, large muscle groups lead to an increase in sympathetic tone and a relative decrease in vagal tone. Complications from the radioactive material injected into your body are very rare. Explain the procedure fully, detailing what is going to happen during the EST.

  • “Cardiac Solution” Program Tip Sheet
    “Cardiac Solution” Program Tip Sheet MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING (MPI) vs. STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (SE) Main Points about the Two Tests: Both tests have equal diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease, with MPI showing greater sensitivity and SE showing greater specificity. MPI is based upon the expectation of relatively reduced blood flow in a myocardial segment during exercise or pharmacologic coronary microvessel dilation, while SE is based upon development of wall motion abnormality provoked by myocardial ischemia during treadmill exercise or similar stress. In order to perform a SE, one would prefer to have a patient who could perform treadmill exercise well, along with a good acoustic imaging window, while MPI can be performed with either exercise or the pharmacologic option. Exercise can also provide the additional information from the EKG, when the baseline EKG does not already have substantial abnormality (e.g. a 1 mm ST segment depression at baseline, left bundle branch block, ventricular pacing, PVCs, or pre-excitation). Even with MPI, an exercise modality is preferred over pharmacologic vasodilation due to the additional functional and EKG information inherent in exercise testing. However, in some patients, such as those with a pre-existing wall motion abnormality, left bundle branch block, ventricular paced rhythms, frequent PVCs, or pre-excitation (WPW), the related cardiac contraction pattern during exercise could obscure the effects of ischemia, making a pharmacologic approach more helpful. The radiation exposure of SE is zero, while MPI incurs a radiation Radiation Exposure dose of 7-24 mSv (the equivalent of about 117-400 PA & lateral chest X-rays), with an increase in lifetime radiation exposure and its MPI: 7 - 24 mSv associated cancer risk.
