We sought to identify prospectively the prevalence of significant ischemia (≥10% of the left ventricle (LV)) on exercise SPECT imaging relative to workload achieved in consecutive patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). High exercise capacity is a strong predictor of a good prognosis, and the role of MPI in patients achieving high workloads is questionable. Prospective analysis was performed on 1,056 consecutive patients who underwent quantitative exercise gated 99mTc-SPECT MPI, of whom 974 attained ≥85% of their maximum age-predicted heart rate (MAPHR). These patients were further divided based on attained exercise workload (<7, 7-9, or ≥10 METS) and were compared for exercise test and imaging outcomes, particularly the prevalence of ≥10% LV ischemia. Individuals reaching ≥10 METS but <85% MAPHR were also assessed. Of these 974 subjects, 473 (48.6%) achieved ≥10 METS. This subgroup had a very low prevalence of significant ischemia (2 of 473, 0.4%). Those attaining <7 METS had an 18-fold higher prevalence (7.1%, p<0.001). Of the 430 patients reaching ≥10 METS without exercise ST-depression, none had ≥10% LV ischemia. In contrast, the prevalence of ≥10% LV ischemia was highest in the patients achieving <10 METS with ST-depression (14 of 70; 19.4%). In this referral cohort of patients with an intermediate to high clinical risk of CAD, achieving ≥10 METS with no ischemic ST-depression was associated with a 0% prevalence of significant ischemia. Elimination of MPI in such patients, who represented 31% (430/1396) of all undergoing exercise SPECT in this laboratory, could provide substantial cost-savings.
