Teaching File Case 71
50-year-old female sent from the emergency department for evaluation of chest pain
Chapter
The short-axis cine views demonstrate normal regional and global left ventricular function. The wall thickness is normal, measuring 11 mm in diameter.
Evaluation of the valvular structures demonstrates minimal flow turbulence through a trileaflet aortic valve without evidence of stenosis. No mitral and tricuspid insufficiency is seen.
The stress and rest perfusion images seen in the second and third rows respectively demonstrate that a vertically oriented dark linear band is seen to traverse the lateral portion of the myocardium from top to bottom. No perfusion defect is noted.
