First step to evaluate an asymptomatic patient?
a) Global risk score (i.e. Framingham).
b) SPECT-MPS.
c) Coronary angioCT.
d) Rest ECG.
• Global risk score is a Class I indication in this setting; SPECT-MPS is
Class IIB or III, Coronary angioCT is Class III, and Rest ECG is Class IIA.
• Calculated Framingham risk score = 18% (intermediate risk for CAD
events in 10 years) based on SBP, cholesterol levels, age, gender, and
smoking status.

• In addition to the knowledge about atherosclerosis burden in our
patient, short-term prognosis is dependent on the presence and
degree of ischemia, the territory involved, and the LV function - all of
which can be provided by MPS.

• SPECT MPS, combined low workload exercise with
dipyridamole, 99mTc-MIBI, one-day protocol.
• No symptoms or ST changes.
Myocardial perfusion study

Myocardial perfusion study

a) Anteroseptal infarction + ischemia, high risk.
b) Normal perfusion.
c) Inferoapical ischemia, low risk.
d) Lateral wall ischemia, moderate risk.
The MPS result is consistent with:

a) Anteroseptal infarction + ischemia, high risk.
b) Normal perfusion.
c) Inferoapical ischemia, low risk.
d) Lateral wall ischemia, moderate risk.
The MPS result is consistent with:
• The images show inferoapical reversible defect, with preserved LV
function both post-stress and rest = low risk for cardiac events.

Follow-up
• Patient was managed clinically for CAD, ischemic heart
disease: Beta-blockers, ASA, statins.
• Secondary prevention (target = LDL< 70).
• Low level exercise: medicated and under supervision.

• CAC provides independent incremental information in addition to traditional risk factors in the prediction of all-cause mortality.
• The principal difference between MPS and Ca scoring is that the former is an excellent tool for assessing short-term risk, guiding decisions on revascularization.
• In contrast, atherosclerosis imaging methods like CAC provide greater long-term risk assessment, and are more useful in defining the need for aggressive medical prevention.
