A 68-year-old gentleman underwent stress/rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) at our institution for recurrence of chest pain during exercise ECG testing. He reported prior smoking, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, and obesity. His clinical history was significant for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to mid left anterior descending (LAD) disease 6 months earlier, which had been treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation (Figure 1).

Parametric summary of prior coronary angiography (in brown), echocardiography (in green), ECG stress testing (in light blue), and ungated myocardial perfusion imaging details (in dark blue). The seven myocardial regions are summarized graphically for echocardiography (H, hypokinesis) and myocardial perfusion imaging (Mod, moderate defect; SH, severe hypokinesis), and the three main ECG axis as well (left top square: baseline QS; right top square: baseline ST-T changes; left bottom square: stress T changes; right bottom square: stress ST changes)
