Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between patient characteristics and adenosine-related side-effects during stress myocard perfusion imaging (MPI). The effect of presence of adenosine-related side-effects on the diagnostic value of MPI with integrated SPECT/CT system for coronary artery disease, was also assessed in this study. Total of 281 patients (109 M, 172 F; mean age : 62.6 ± 10) who underwent standard adenosine stress protocol for MPI, were included in this study. All symptoms during adenosine infusion were scored according to the severity and duration. For the estimation of diagnostic value of adenosine MPI with integrated SPECT/CT system, coronary angiography or clinical follow-up were used as gold standard. Total of 173 patients (61.6%) experienced adenosine-related side-effects; flushing, dyspnea, and chest pain were the most common. Other 108 patients completed pharmacologic stress test without any side-effects. Test tolerability were similar in the patients with cardiovascular or airway disease to others, however dyspnea were observed significantly more common in patients with mild airway disease.
