PET assessment. Comment: 59-year-old male with known ischaemic heart disease (requiring bypass grafting) presents for PET assessment in the context of new-onset angina. PET assessment findings of scintigraphic evidence of a reversible perfusion defect of the mid third of the anterior wall is noted. This gated data suggests a high-grade stenosis supplying this region. Noted normal left ventricular systolic function at rest with an inducible wall motion abnormality and significant fall in LVEF with pharmacological stress.
