The goal is to acquire knowledge about the impact of the withdrawal of PPI’s, so as to minimize disturbance of the stomach wall in myocardial perfusion imaging. The associated main question is therefore: What is the impact of the withdrawal of PPI use in the stomach wall uptake of 99m Tc-Sestamibi in myocardial perfusion imaging? Myocardial perfusion imaging consists of stress and rest study.

The associated main question here came about: What is the effect of the withdrawal of PPI in the stomach wall uptake with 99m Tc-Sestamibi in myocardial perfusion imaging? Myocardial perfusion imaging consists of stress and rest study. Main question: What is the effect of the withdrawal of PPI in the stomach wall uptake with 99m Tc-Sestamibi in myocardial perfusion imaging? Sub-questions: - What is the relative stomach wall uptake within myocardial perfusion imaging Tc 99m Sestamibi in the stress an rest studies? - How can withdrawal of PPI’s gain effect on the image quality and the ability to assess a myocardial perfusion imaging? Hypothesis It is expected that reducing and eventually stopping PPIs for myocardial perfusion imaging shows an equivalent image in patients not taking PPIs.;Primary end point(s): It has previously been shown that the use of stomach protective drugs also called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the uptake of the radiopharmaceutical Tc99m Sestamibi increases in the stomach wall in a cardiac function (myocardial perfusion) examination. The higher the uptake in the stomach wall, the more negative this contributes to the evaluation of the heart. It can lead to the poor judging of the perfusion (blood flow) of the heart. By reducing the use of PPI’s for a myocardial perfusion examination this issue would maybe be reduced and the quality of care improved. Previously, no research has been conducted into the impact of the withdrawal of PPIs with a myocardial perfusion imaging. It has previously been shown that patients who used PPI’s have much uptake in the stomach and patients not taking PPI’s have virtually no uptake in the stomach wall. The goal is to acquire | — |
