332 Post Revascularisation Status - MyocardialPerfusion Imaging

<<< Post stress myocardial per-
fusion image-

Vertical long axis view: showing
moderate perfusion defect in in-
ferior myocardium.
<<<< Images at rest- : please
note partial improvement in per-
fusion of inferior wall

Thus myocardial perfusion helps:
1. To understand effort tolerance of the patient post
revascularization.
2. To determine left ventricular function at rest and in
post exercise period.

3. To objectively identify physiologic perfusion status
of myocardium at rest and in post exercise period.
4. To identify new territory of ischemia.
