“…Overall, nuclear perfusion scans have been shown effective in the obese population. [25][26][27] Our biggest challenge as bariatric surgeons before surgery is to identify the severely obese patient who is at higher perioperative cardiovascular risk. 28 The physical examination solo underestimates cardiac dysfunction most of the time in this patient population.…”

Obesity has been documented as a major modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease, ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy, poor left ventricular systolic function and impairment of left ventricular diastolic function, congestive heart failure, stroke and cardiac arrhythmia by the AHA. It is believed that physical exam and EKG alone can underestimate the presence and extent of cardiac disease in the obese patient. 10,[21][22][23][24] Subtle EKG changes that are

In 2015, the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (®) published many high-quality articles. In this series, we will summarize key articles that have appeared in the Journal last year to provide for the interested reader a quick review of the advancements that have recently occurred in the field. In the first article of this 2-part series, we concentrated on publications dealing with plaque imaging, cardiac positron emission tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance. This review will focus on myocardial perfusion imaging summarizing advances in the field including in diagnosis, prognosis, and appropriate use.
