TID with normal myocardial perfusion

Teaching Case

Case presentation:

  • Male.
  • 51 y.o.
  • Hypertension and diabetes.
  • Atypical sympotons (right are discomfort st stress).
  • Echocardiography revealed LVH.
  • Submitted for stress myocardial perfusion study (MPS).

Teaching points:

  • Although TID is usually higher in patients with LAD ischemia or multivessel disease (MVD), it can also be found in patients with LVH or diabetes (like in this case).
  • However, TID in the absence of evident perfusion abnormalities should always raise the question of balanced myocardial ischemia in the first place, which is more common in MVD.
  • Exercise/rest MPS was performed with 99m-Tc-sestamibi.
