The costs of myocardial perfusion imaging can differ significantly, but on average the costs range between $1000 and $3000. In certain cases, insurance coverage may be applicable to this test; patients can ask about potential coverage to find out more. Despite the high costs, myocardial perfusion imaging proves well worth it for many patients. When coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, become too narrow and oxygen and fresh blood are insufficient, serious health problems, such as ischaemic heart disease can occur. This can even result in a sudden heart attack without prior warning. Using cardiac imaging, such as myocardial perfusion imaging, doctors can determine if your heart is receiving enough blood and whether it is pumping efficiently. In addition, it can detect signs of coronary artery disease, obstructed CAD, and even heart attack damage. Myocardial perfusion imaging is available at Cardiovascular Medical Associates.
