ABSTRACT
Diagnosis and management of cardiac complications of cancer treatment can be challenging. Few PET data suggest a potential role of dynamic perfusion imaging with measurements of absolute myocardial blood flow and flow reserve (MFR). We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with a history of bilateral breast cancer who underwent dynamic cardiac scintigraphy. Relative perfusion analysis was normal, whereas MFR was impaired in all territories suggesting diffuse microvascular dysfunction. Flow parameters derived from dynamic cardiac scintigraphy could thus be an interesting tool in cardio-oncology.
