    Abstract Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) is a widely used technique for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). Interpreting physicians rely on regional variations in myocardial radiotracer uptake between rest and stress images to identify hemodynamically significant epicardial coronary artery stenosis. However, interpretation of MPI is very difficult in patients with large infarcts where there is no scintigraphically normal reference myocardium for comparison. In these patients, the stress and rest images appear similar due to balanced ischemia in the non-infarct territory. There are no clear guidelines on how to approach these cases. We present a case of MPI with a large right coronary artery territory (RCA) infarct where the left main (LM) coronary artery territory has no relative comparator and the images looked the same on stress and rest. However, the patient had multiple high-risk ancillary findings including electrocardiographic (ECG) changes with regadenoson, transient ischemic dilatation (TID), large severe inferior infarct, low myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR), but most notably increased right ventricular (RV) uptake on the stress images that was a subtle clue that we were dealing with LM equivalent in non-infarct zone. The coronary angiogram confirmed our findings. Through our case, we provide a comprehensive approach and review of literature on how to approach such challenging encounters.

    Abstract Background: In asymptomatic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) wait-listed for kidney transplantation (KT), it is unclear whether a change in ischemic burden on serial surveillance SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) impacts outcome.
    Methods and results: In a retrospective cohort of 700 asymptomatic KT candidates with ≥ 2 sequential SPECT-MPI studies, we defined a significant change in ischemic burden between MPIs as ΔSDS of ≥ 2 points. Patients were followed for mean 19 ± 12 months after MPI
    Conclusion: Among KT candidates who underwent serial MPI for CAD surveillance, new ischemia was associated with increased MACE risk. Improvement in ischemic burden was associated with lower MACE risk irrespective of coronary revascularization status.

    Abstract There is a vast body of literature supporting the use of stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. When applied in the appropriate clinical setting, MPI can aid, not only in diagnosis and risk stratification, but also in decision-making. In a case of a 58-year-old man with suspected coronary artery disease, we highlight how the appropriate use of stress MPI can leverage the diagnostic and prognostic utility of MPI in an effective, evidence-based decision-making aimed to achieve the best patient outcome.
