Keywords
stress test, cardiac issues, Rb-82 PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, 11-150, one or more 82Rb myocardial perfusion stress tests
Brief summary
The physician would like to see if nuclear cardiac stress tests can predict cardiac health. For example, if a patient has an abnormal stress test, is he or she more likely to have cardiac problems in the future?
Interventions
Patients will complete one questionnaire over the phone. We will ask patients to describe their cardiac history since Rb-82 PET (chest pain, shortness of breath, cardiac catheterization, and heart attack). This information will be correlated to the scan results and other relevant information in the patient's medical record.
