Disease relevance of A-rest

• METHODS: A rest/redistribution (20 min/4 h) (201)Tl gated SPECT protocol followed immediately by a (99m)Tc equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) was performed in 75 patients with history of myocardial infarction [1].
• The meal was followed by either (A) rest or (B) 30 minutes of exercise (40% of maximum O2 consumption [VO2max]) or (C) taken with alcohol (0.4 g/kg body weight) followed by 30 minutes of exercise (40% of VO2max) [2].

High impact information on A-rest

• A rest period of approximately 20 h after task failure was not sufficient to normalize these alterations in respiratory muscle recruitment or fatigue-induced changes in diaphragmatic contractility [3].
• A rest period of 10 minutes should be allowed before taking the blood pressure [4].
• A rest MPI image was acquired with 8 mCi Tc-99m Sestamibi, followed by TMT; at the peak exercise 20 mCi tracer was injected and post-stress MPI image was acquired after 1 hour [5].
• A rest and activity questionnaire was completed by the women in the third trimester of pregnancy, in postpartum Week 1, and in postpartum Week 4 [6].
• A rest, compensatory mechanisms are able to make up for the loss of a properly timed atrial systole [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of A-rest

• A rest perfusion study was performed within four days before PTCA [8].
