Fig. 8 — Dynamic CTP scans for triple-vessel disease in an 84-year-old woman with chest pain. a Short-axis view of a dynamic CTP (grayscale) shows a subendocardial perfusion defect in the entire circumference of the heart (white arrows). b A CT-MBF color-coded image shows low CT-MBF throughout the heart. SPECT during c stress and d at rest shows a reversible perfusion defect in the lateral wall but no marked perfusion defect in the other regions. Invasive coronary angiography of the e right and f left coronary arteries shows severe triple-vessel disease. In this case, single-photon emission tomography did not accurately detect the presence of triple-vessel disease, known as balanced ischemia.
