TYPE OF STRESS TEST: Lexiscan Cardiolite
INDICATIONS: Positive risk factors, history of chest pain, EKG abnormality, patient is unable to exercise because of chronic back pain.
CONSENT: Before the procedure, the patient provided written consent.
HISTORY: Baseline EKG shows sinus rhythm with poor R-wave progression in the anterior leads, and maybe a hint of inferior ST depression in II and III. Baseline blood pressure is 136/74. Baseline heart rate is 85 beats per minute.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: 0.4 mg of Lexiscan was given over 10 seconds. Immediately after infusion the patient denied any chest pain. Blood pressure was 128/75, pulse 88. The EKG remained at baseline abnormality. However, during recovery there was some QT prolongation, but the patient had no chest pain. At 4 minutes of recovery, the patient's blood pressure was 130/74 with heart rate of 86. EKG, as mentioned, involved some mild QT prolongation. There was no other ST-T abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
Baseline abnormal EKG with positive risk factors. There is no lexiscan-induced chest pain or shortness of breath.
Baseline abnormal EKG with Lexiscan shows no diagnosed ST depression or ST elevation; however, there is a QT prolongation with Lexiscan infusion.
Final nuclear imaging depending on Radiology interpretation.
