Heart examination with radiois, pet, heart performance scanning, heart blood pool scan, muga scan sponsored by radiois heart examination is a name given to a set of tests performed to examine and examine the performance of the heart and the flow of blood. These tests are performed by injecting a radioactive substance whose function is to issue a small amount of gamma rays, where the blood flow to the heart (perfusion) depends on the injection of substances concentrated in the heart muscle. The healthy heart muscle accommodates the radioactive material, while the infarction does not absorb this radioactive substance, and the extent of the effectiveness of the heart performance is measured by stigling a small amount of red blood cells of the patient by stiging the radioactive substance. Types of heart tests in radioactive isotopes are in fact different types of tests in which radioactive isotopes are used, and this is as follows: The computerized topical examination using one photon emission -toomography. Positron Eastion Tomography. Multigated Acuisition scan. Myocardial perfusion. Heart blood pool scan. When is the examination performed? This type of investigation is conducted in the following cases: the cause of chest pain or shortness of breath, especially in the absence of accurate and conclusive results after the suspense examination, or if it is not possible to execute it. Evaluation of the size of the heart and the ability to contract. Determining the extent of the narrowing of the coronary arteries, to prepare for the right decision regarding the treatment to be taken to the patient. Evaluation of the success of the attempt to open the blockage in the coronary arteries after surgery. Evaluation and investigation of the causes of charges about chest pain or shortness of breath to a therapeutic catheter. Evaluation of the situation of people with risk factors for coronary heart disease, but they do not have heart symptoms until they perform major surgeries. Evaluation and estimate of the capabilities of future infection with cardiovascular disease after exposure to cases in the past. Diagnosing and evaluating the innate deviations of the heart in boys and infants. The risk category There are many diseases that need the investigation. Diseases associated with the following are the most important diseases that need to be examined: coronary artery disease. Cheaphopathic. The myocardial infarction. Heart. How to perform the exam is performed with radioactive analogues by following the following: The doctor asks the patient to withhold for a particular period of food and drink before the investigation is performed. A venous injection is placed in one of the hands, and through which the radioactive material is injected into the body. The patient should lie on the bed, surrounded by one or more cameras found in the form of large plates, the function of which is to photograph the gamma rays issued by the radioactive material. The patient is linked to electrode and electric heart planning (ECG). The patient may be asked to make a physical effort with the moving band or to be injected with a substance that mimics the attempt, leading to an increase in the rate of heartwork, to know the activity of the heart while making an effort. General warnings of the risk of following the following investigation: Shortness of breath. Pain of the injection site. During pregnancy: It is usually not performed during pregnancy, so you should inform the doctor in the case of pregnancy before the examination. Breastfeeding: The doctor should be notified in the case of breastfeeding, as the mother may be needed to breastfeed after a short period after the analysis. Children and babies have no special recommendations. Elderly: There are no special recommendations. Management: There are no special recommendations, but if you feel tired and dizzy, do not drive. Medicines that affect the result of the investigation. The doctor should be informed about all the medications used before surgery, especially blood products. Results analysis The doctor who conducted a heart examination with radioactive isotope, writes his medical report on the results of the examination, depending on the images the camera took, and the results indicate the following: Recording the radioactive material smooth: This means that the heart included the radioactive material in its different parts, which indicates the integrity of the heart muscle. The presence of a fixed defect to absorb the material: that is, the material does not absorb in a specific area of the heart muscle, and the greatest possibility is that this region does not contain muscle tissue, which means infection with cardiovity in this region. The appearance of an imbalance after an attempt is made: it indicates the presence of an area in the heart suffering from a lack of blood supply, which often occurs due to the narrowing of the artery that provides blood.
