Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major health concern and the leading cause of death in Australia. Effective assessment of patients for possible CAD is a common problem in general practice. Non-invasive tests such as myocardial perfusion scans (MPS), exercise stress tests (ESTs) and stress echocardiography (using exercise or dobutamine as the stressor, as appropriate) can provide useful diagnostic and prognostic information. This brief review discusses the role of MPS in the evaluation of CAD.
冠状动脉疾病(CAD)仍然是澳大利亚主要的健康问题和首要死因。在全科医疗中,对可能患有CAD的患者进行有效评估是一个常见问题。非侵入性检查,如心肌灌注扫描(MPS)、运动负荷试验(ESTs)和负荷超声心动图(视情况使用运动或多巴酚丁胺作为应激源),可以提供有用的诊断和预后信息。本简要综述讨论了MPS在CAD评估中的作用。
