Abstract |
Pharmacologic stress testing for myocardial perfusion imaging is a widely used noninvasive method for the
evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease. The use of exercise for cardiac stress has been
practiced for over 60 years and clinicians are familiar with its using. However, there are inevitabe situations in
which exercise stress is inappropriate. A large number of patients with cardiac problems are unable to exercise to
their full potential due to comorbidity such as osteoarthritis, vascular disease and pulmonary disease and a
standard exercise stress test for myocardial perfusion imaging is suboptimal means for assessment of coronary
artery disease. This problem has led to the development of the pharmacologic stress test and to a great increase
in its popularity. All of the currently used pharmacologic agents have well-documented diagnostic value. This
review deals the physiological actions, clinical protocols, safety, nuclear imaging applications of currently available
stress agents and future development of new vasodilating agents.(Korean J Nucl Med 39(2):107-113, 2005) |
