Abnormal Myocardial Perfusion with Abnormal Regional Blood Flow

Drs. Al Badarin and Bateman discuss the use of PET imaging and the role of myocardial blood flow to assess a 39-year-old female who presents to the emergency department with chest discomfort and dyspnea for 2-3 days. They demonstrate how the assessment of myocardial blood flow improves the diagnostic yield of PET myocardial perfusion imaging. See more #CardiacPET resources: www.asnc.org/pet

I wish the images were bigger so I could see the comparison. Otherwise great presentation. I have a pacemaker, dual lead due to LYMES disease, afib. Just had the nuclear stress test which shows a myocardial perfusion in the anterior apex of my heart due to lack if blood flow fm 3rd degree heart block for 2- 3 years. LYMES wasn't diagnosed for 5 months, then IV antibiotics 28 days.
