Table 3. The interpretation of radionuclide stress testing by semi-quantitative analysis.

* SSS values < 4 are understood as normal. However, it might not be zero and that is because there are myocardial regions that show lower radiopharmaceutical concentrations and, consequently, receive values other than zero [25-26].

SSS: Summed stress score

Summed stress score (SSS) Interpretation
< 4  Normal*
4-8 Mildly abnormal 
9-13 Moderately abnormal
> 13  Severely abnormal
