Fig. 3From: Association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and cardiac perfusion and function on gated myocardial perfusion SPECTA 62 years old diabetic female (HbA1c 11.8%), presented with chest pain. Perfusion images (upper panel) revealed severe hypoperfusion of the lateral wall in stress, with partial improvement during rest, denoting mixed non-transmural myocardial infarction with residual ischemia in the distribution of left circumflex. Mild anterior wall soft tissue attenuation is also noted. Quantitation (lower panel) revealed SSS = 24, SRS = 16, SDS = 7, EDV = 86 ml, ESV = 44 ml, & LVEF = 49%Back to article page
