Discrepancy between stress electrocardiographic changes and nuclear myocardial perfusion defects in the prognostic assessment of patients with chest pain

Future Cardiac Events in Patients with Ischemic ECG Changes during Adenosine Infusion as a Myocardial Stress Agent and Normal Cardiac Scan

“…Another study conducted by Sergio Raposeiras-Roubin et all named Discrepancy between stress electrocardiographic changes and nuclear myocardial perfusion defects in the prognostic assessment of patients with chest pain he concluded that MPI results (normal vs. abnormal) had strong predictive value and discrepant ECG results had no significant additive prognostic value[22]. A third study has been done by Neelima Paladugu et all with their work that given the name of Positive Vasodilator Stress ECG With Normal Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and its Correlation With Coronary Angiographic Findings in African Americans and Hispanics where he found that Among African Americans and Hispanics, ischemic ECG changes during vasodilator stress test with normal MPI are likely to be associated with significant CAD and may warrant coronary angiography to assess presence and extent of CAD[23].…”
