October 2010 through a generous grant provided by WAWA. Goal has been to identify and risk stratify female patients at risk for heart disease in an effort to manage and minimize their risk as a part of primary prevention of heart disease. The goal is to also identify and treat heart disease early to prevent any future cardiac events in our female patients. Many female patients have been treated and managed in our center. Very diverse group of patients from as young as 22 yrs. of age to as old as 89 yrs. of age.

Cardiac Imaging is vital in the accurate and timely diagnosis of heart disease in the female patient. Cardiac imaging determines time of intervention for may cardiac disease and determine treatment strategy.

TEACHING POINTS Increased radiotracer uptake in the hypertrophied septal wall in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy resulting in a normalization artifact and resulting perception that there is extensive ischemia in the anterior, lateral, inferior walls as was the case in this patient.

TEACHING POINTS
In some patients, nuclear stress image acquisition has to be performed with the left arm down due to recent device (pacemaker, ICD) placement or due to presence of hemiparesis from prior CVA. Differential positioning of the left arm in these cases may cause a perceived reversible perfusion defect. It is therefore very important during acquisition that the left arm positioning is equal on rest as well as stress images.
