DATE OF STUDY: MM/DD/YYYY
DATE OF INTERPRETATION: MM/DD/YYYY
Cardiolite adenosine stress testing was performed for evaluation of chest pain.
Informed consent was obtained from the patient. First, she had resting perfusion images with Cardiolite. The patient was brought to the stress test laboratory and was given adenosine 25.4 mg over 4 minutes. Two minutes after the infusion of adenosine, Cardiolite was reinjected per protocol.
The patient reported adenosine-related symptoms in the form of shortness of breath, which subsided once the adenosine was infused.
Resting hemodynamics, blood pressure is 110/70 and pulse rate is 88 per minute and regular.
Resting EKG shows normal sinus rhythm, normal axis.
There is left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with ST-T abnormalities.
EKG was recorded every 2 minutes, both during infusion of adenosine and post infusion. The EKGs remained consistent with baseline resting electrocardiogram. The test was completed without any complications. The patient was taken to nuclear medicine for acquisition of perfusion images.
Thank you for this kind referral.
Sample #2
DATE OF STUDY: MM/DD/YYYY
DATE OF INTERPRETATION: MM/DD/YYYY
Cardiolite adenosine stress testing was performed for risk stratification.
Informed consent was obtained from the patient. First, the patient had resting perfusion images with Cardiolite. He was brought to the stress test laboratory and was given adenosine 50.9 mg over 4 minutes. Two minutes after the infusion of adenosine, Cardiolite was reinjected per protocol. The patient reported adenosine-related symptoms, which subsided after adenosine was infused.
Resting hemodynamics is as follows; blood pressure is 150/90. Pulse rate is 68 per minute and regular.
Resting EKG shows normal sinus rhythm, left anterior hemiblock and nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay. Septal wall infarction, age undetermined, could not be ruled out.
EKG was recorded every 2 minutes, both during infusion of adenosine and post infusion. No ischemic ST depression or elevation was noted. The test was completed without any complication. The patient was taken to nuclear medicine for acquisition of perfusion images, which are interpreted separately by the radiologist.
Thank you for this kind referral.
Sample #3
DATE OF STUDY: MM/DD/YYYY
DATE OF INTERPRETATION: MM/DD/YYYY
Cardiolite adenosine stress testing was performed for risk stratification. The patient has a history of congestive heart failure.
Informed consent was obtained from the patient. First, she had resting perfusion images with Cardiolite. The patient was brought to the stress test laboratory and was given adenosine 31.8 mg over 4 minutes. Two minutes after the infusion of adenosine, Cardiolite was reinjected per protocol. The patient did not report any adenosine-related symptoms. The test was completed without any complications.
Resting hemodynamics; blood pressure is 110/70, pulse rate is 68 per minute and regular.
Resting EKG showed normal sinus rhythm, rare supraventricular ectopic beats, intermediate axis. There is poor R-wave progression noted over the precordial leads.
EKG was recorded every 2 minutes, both during infusion of adenosine and post infusion. No ischemic ST depression or elevation was noted. The test was completely without any complications. The patient was taken to nuclear medicine for acquisition of perfusion images.
Thank you for this kind referral.
