Increasing frequency of dyspnea among patients referred for cardiac stress testing
ConclusionsDyspnea has become increasingly prevalent among patients referred for cardiac stress testing and is now present among nearly two-fifths of contemporary cohorts referred for stress-rest SPECT-MPI. Prospective study is needed to standardize the assessment of dyspnea and evaluate the reasons for its increasing prevalence. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

82Rb and [15O]H2O myocardial perfusion PET imaging: a prospective head to head comparison
ConclusionsIn clinical transition from82Rb to [15O]H2O PET, it is important to take into account the higher frequency of patients with regional ischemia detected by [15O]H2O PET.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
