Example of mental and physical stress myocardial perfusion imaging in one of the women enrolled in the study. The horizontal short axis slices in row A were obtained after mental stress and show a clear perfusion defect in the infero-lateral wall of the left ventricle (yellow arrows). The images in row B were obtained after physical stress; the perfusion defect is much smaller and barely visible. The images in row C were obtained at rest and are very similar to those obtained after physical stress test (row B). The bull's eyes in row D show the infero-lateral perfusion defect after mental stress on the left and after physical stress on the right. The sum stress score was 16 for the mental stress and 11 for the physical stress.
